<br />and Mr. Farrington, members of the City Council, Mr. Bergman,
<br />Chief of Police, Mr. Nusbaum, Chief of the Fire Department and

<br />
<br />First floor toilet rooms improperly ventilated.
<br />A chi~ney which I deem to be unsafe.
<br />An inside stairway improperly lighted.
<br />No fire escape lights on the second floor.
<br />An outside stairway from 'the s~cond floor leading
<br />into a closed court:
<br />Eight (8) stoves connected to stove pipes through window, ter-
<br />minating at or near the eave line.
<br />This building at present is occupied by twelve families wi~h a
<br />number of small children and a number of occupants of single
<br />rooms.

<br />
<br />After leaving the Yates Hotel this sanie group of city officials
<br />inspected the premises at 57 and 63 Sixth Avenue East, known as
<br />Joe's Place, and occupied as a restaurant and lodging house.
<br />
<br />I~ this place we fouhd two stove pipes from the kitchen range
<br />going through a wooden ceiling with improper clearance:
<br />
<br />A sto~e pipe goifug, through two board partitions with improper
<br />clearance: .

<br />Communication from the Eugene Board of Health recommending that the Council
<br />investigate the facilities of the Yates Hotel, Joe's Place and the New York Rooms
<br />with a view of condemning the properties, was pr~sented in condunction with the
<br />above reports on this matter.
<br />
<br />At this time Jacob E. Soric, manger of the Yates' Hotel, stated that if the
<br />council proceeded with its plans for condemnation that more than 70 tenants who
<br />reside at the Hotel would be w~thout a place to live as their means are very limited.
<br />Mayor Larg~ deferred discussion of, the matter until the next meeting.
