I pointing out that organized labor was unanimously behind civil service movements and that they asked that the hearing be made public and that after a thorough check on civil service conditions in the other states of the union it could be stated that the big majority of these states had, hearings open to the public and that, the ~ same should be here. A. Mr. Turner, member of the local Central Council, addressed C? the group further, strengthining the argument that the c~vil service hearings should.'-:/, be open to the public and that every man accused of a violation should have the right of appeal. Councilman Lamb Moved that the words "or private hearing at the discretion of the commission" should be stricken out. Councilman Hendershott se- conded it and it was so 'ordered. ,Mr. Lamb then opened the di scuss ion on the recom- mendation of the committee for the payment of $5.00 per day to the commission for their services, but moved that the same be stricken out. Councilman Bond seconded the motion and it was so ordered., The other recommendation of the commi tt,ee pro- viding for reciprocity between cities was approved and the question was called for jthe aye and nay votes ~s to the passage of the ordinance.

Smith, the Recorder presented the form of a contract for the, renting of certain property at the airport by the Private Flyers r Association. Councilman Harris moved that this he tabled and Councilman Hendershott stated that he understood Mr. Smith had a representative here and asked the party to address the council. Mrs. Yale E. Smith then addressed the council in behalf of the Private Flyers' Association. She stated they merely wanted theprivil~ge of using the club house. They would furnish it, clean it and take care of it. It coul be used for the benefit of the people on Sundays when circus meets were being held and they could make a real thing out of it. She mentioned that the reason she brought the matter up before the council was that Harold Saunders who now has the lease of the airport said he had no authority to lease it unless the airport com- mittee of the council approved and recommended it to him that they be given the con- tract. She had been unable to locate an airport committee and after some discussion it was pointed out by the Recorder that upon motion of the council, an ordinance was Ipassed which removed the airport from the control of the park board and no committee, appointed to take care of the property. She asked that a committee from the council look into the Private Flyers' Association and determine for themselves that they deserved the backing of the city of Eugene. Councilman Carlson expressed his opinion that they certainly should look into this because it was his personal knowledge that the organization contained some 200 or more members who were good members and that the ,~ssociation was becoming a national association and that the headquarters were in I) ugene and that certainly we should get behind this movement. Mayor Large then re- ferred this problem to the Judiciary Committee to report back at the next meeting. . , The City Recorder then reported that Mrs. Polley Wilson had been in and would be able to present her bill, for the injuries sustained in a sidewalk fall, within ten days or two week$.
