Calkins explained fully the problem involved ,in the final settlement'of the purchase of land from Mr. J. H. Bernards. ~t seems the pity had otpions from Mr. Bernards for the purchase of a certain quarter of land and also an option for the purchase of seven acres in a strip for a roadway in I addition thereto. It now appears that a common error has been made and the original !/4 Section actually contained seven acres of land more than was originally stated land that further, the City of Eugene does not need the land outlined in the ~second pption, namely the seven acres for roadway. Therefor, the city is to pay Mr. Sernards on the assessed vlauation on an acre basis for his number of acres in his tract of approximately 1/4 section and Mr. Bernards is not to hold the city :tm the second option, or seven acres for roadway purposes. Upon motion made and seconded, the suggestions of the City Attorney were unanimously approved. ~ Mr. Frank Seal addressed the council stating it was essential to allow Mr. Harrell to build a machine shop at the municipal airport for the continuance pf the training, program and it should be provided immediately.
