<br /> ' II The minutes of the meeting of August 9, 1937, werE presented and ordered
<br />2 Ii filed as there were no corrections appearing.
<br /> :1
<br /> il Mr. Victor P. Todd, WPA Engineer, asked that the c,ouncil approve the mon-
<br /> il thly expenditure of $125.00 in order that the local sewin~ project might continue
<br /> II until the close of the year. After a short discussion, tr.e matter was readily re-
<br />13 II ferred to the Finance Committee for consideration.
<br /> 'I Mr. G. D. MacLaren, member of the School Board, ae,ked that their rental
<br /> il remain at $30.00 instead of $50.00 as recently increased t1Y the council. He sug-
<br /> gested that the room now being occupied by the Adult EducE.tion Department be
<br /> :1 severed from the School Board office and that the north eI.d of the hall be closed fJ-
<br /> 11 off and a private office made for the new superintendent, the school board to fur-
<br /> nish all materials and labor and the city in return to leE.ve the rental at $30.00
<br /> i per month. Mr. ~acLaren pointed out that in his estimation this would reduce the
<br /> il heating and lighting bill to a very great extent and that to him $30.00 per month
<br /> I
<br /> 'I would not be out of line. The matter was left in t,ne hanc.s of the Finance Commi t-
<br />/4 r tee to report at the next meeting.
<br /> I Mr. MacLaren further asked that the council take action in preventing the
<br /> I
<br /> ,
<br /> i Pacific Truck Company from parking their trucks in front (If the Frances Willard
<br /> School. He stated that the trucks being parked there was in itself a definite
<br /> danger to children and greatly inconvenienced parents bringing their children to
<br /> school. This was referred to the Police Chief, Carl F. Bergman, to contact the
<br /> I, proper parties to request them to park their trucks on thEl east side of the street
<br />(5 Ii rather than in front of the school.
<br /> I
<br /> i In regard to placing in'proper repair the all~y e):tending from Willamette
<br /> I
<br /> II Street to the rear of the Eugene Hospital by the city, Councilman Carlson reported I
<br /> I. that the Street Committee did not wish to take any action without the instruction
<br /> Ii of the councIl to proceed by reason of the fact that this would be a matter of
<br /> :1
<br /> laying black top in the alley and would cost approximatel~r $100.00 of ~hich sum
<br /> II the hospital had agreed to pay ~50.00. Councilman HenderE;hott felt that the city
<br /> II should do this. Mr. BDnd believed that the hospital should stand the expense for
<br /> II all of it as any other property owner has to do. Mr. Marvin T. Y:arlick, manager
<br /> II of the hospital, stated that they could keep the alley in fairly good repair were
<br /> 11 it not for the city cars and trucks constantly driving over it. Councilman Carl-
<br /> Ii son said that it was not a matter of city trucks but rathElr those of the Eugene
<br />611 ~'-ater Board. Upon motion by Councilman Hanns and duly sec:onded, the question was
<br /> referred to the Street Committee with power to act.
<br />/ Ii Mr. O. O. Beymer who had recently purchased the interest in the Yenne
<br /> Plumbing Company, as15ed the council to waive the $50.00 Master Plumber's License
<br /> Fee or at least to pro rate the amount for the balance of the year. It was pointe
<br /> out that the fee was established as a matter of protection for the local plumbers.
<br />7 upon motion made and seconded, the request was denied.
<br />I
<br /> II Councilman Hendershott, chairman of the Finance Committee, asked for re- '.
<br /> II affirmation of the council for purchase of a mimeograph machine for the city of
<br /> d
<br /> II Eugene. The tater Board is to contribute 50% and the cit~r 50%, the city's share I
<br /> I to corne from the emergency fund. Upon motion made and seeonded, the recommendatio
<br />, 8 I of the Finance Committee was approved.
<br /> I Councilman Hendershott requested that warrants be drawn for payment of
<br /> i
<br /> I salaries to those who had completed service for the PlaygJ'ound Department, and
<br /> I further that those who have not as yet completed but who will shortly, be paid
<br />911 from the revolving fund upon duly authorized requisitions"
<br />( i
<br /> Councilman Hendershott stated that the Finance Corrunittee wished the coun-
<br /> I
<br />10 II cil to instruct the City Recorder to request the department heads to prepare
<br /> estimated budgets for the year 1938 upon proper f.orms whieh had been furnished by
<br />/ II the Secretary of State and this was so ordered. ~I
<br /> Councilman Hendershott, chairman of the Finance Committee, recommended
<br /> II
<br /> I. denial of the Thomas D. McHoes offer of $100~90 for Lot 2t Block 5, Hollenbebk
<br /> II
<br /> Addition and extended a counter-offer of $150.00. For Lo<~ 2, Block 8, Hollenbeck
<br /> Addition for which Mr. McHoes had offerred $64.44, the COIrunittee extended a counte -
<br />11 !I offer of $100.00. Upon motion made and duly seconded, the recommendation of the
<br /> Committee was unanimously approved.
