~570 /.. An ordinance fixing regulations .upon the ownership and use of bicycles in the city of Eugene, providing a penalty, and declaring an eme~gency, and repealing all ordinances in conflict herewith, was read a second time and held over for discussion 31 and final passage at the next meeting. , w 1 :: i The Health Committee was asked to determine the adequacy of Frank Boeh rent- ing property located at North Clark between Madison and Ash at a rental price of 32 $2.~0 per month and placing thereon a two-wh~el trailer house for living quarters. '" . , Councilman P. J. Hanns moved that the council take proper steps to place the _~ $34~023.08, cash surplus, in the general fund into the sinking fund for payment of ~. principal and interest on Improvement Bonds. Mayor Large did not believe this :~ could be done and asked City attorney Calkin~ for an opinion. Mr. Calkins stated '.- that he could not make a definite decision upon such shQrt notice, but his opinion off-hand was that this one account was all surplus of moneys not expended in 1937 and other excess collections, but that it would be impossible to use this account for any of the 1937 requirements or to set it aside in a sinking fund without first going through a regular budget procedu~e. It was further his opinion that this fund could be invested by the Finance Committee so that additional income might be had, but that when the budget for 1938 is prepared that amount of tax levy would be reduced by this sum of money. The matter was referred to the Finance Committee and City Attorney for further discussion. ,:.iIiI. ~ (33 \.
