Councilman Bond said he did not believe there was anything wrong with the recommendation that had already been approved and did not think it was right to put the companies to this extra expense. He explained that he did not think that large plants were as apt to have fires as the smaller plants on account of the facilities they had' for taking care of small fires. A motion was made by Councilman Brownson, seconded by Councilman Bond that the recommendation that had0already been passed should stand and this was unanimously carried by the members of the council. ~ Ai' ;~ A resolution transferring the Milk and Meat Inspector's Department from the City Engineer's Office to the Lane County Health Office was presented. An ordinance providing for rules and regulations of restaurant$ was presented, for the first reading and discussion was called for. Councilman Brownson addressed the council concerning. the resolution and the restaurant ordinance and said that the ordinance was one that was used by different cities allover the United States and it could be changed to meet whatever conditions might be necessary for the Eugene territory. He also said there were many reasons for wanting to move the Milk Inspector's Department from the Engineer(ts office to the City-County Health office at the Lane County Court House, and one of the first reasons was that the Engineer's office was much busier than it had been previously and that the Milk Inspector's work could not be handled properly through that office. He stated that the work which had been done by the Milk Inspector was pretty good but it did not go far enough, and reported that the city-county health office had a very comple e set up and he felt the work could be handled much better from that office. He explained that the city was not relinquishing any authority over the Milk Inspector by making this move. Regarding the proposed restaurant ordinance he said it was not the committee's intention at this time to set(Up a license fee for restaurant inspection. Councilman Farrington asked if it wouldn't be likely that a fee would be set up for this work which would be an additional tax on the restaurants. Counci- man Brownson explained they did not expect it at this time but it was possible that later on a fee of from $5.00 to $1~.00 per year might be necessary in order to carry on the work. At the present time" this was not contemplated as they were making investigations to see what should 'be done regarding food inspections and inspection of food handling. Councilman Bond wanted to know who would be Dr. Helterline's supervisor and Councilman Brownson explained that Dr. N. Paul E. Anderson at the present time would be the man in charge. A motion was made by Councilman Brownson, seconded by Councilman Pennington, that the resolution for the change in the office as read be adopted and the motion was carried. The ordinance concerning the restaur was held over for further consideration and the City Recorder was instructed to provide a copy of this ordinance for each councilman, the Mayor and the City Attorne 24( and these copies to be mailed out with the council minutes of this meeting.

" Co "'s . Councl1man Brownson reported he had recelved complalnts about ~ runnlng at large in the city and stated he did not believe any stock should be allowed to be ~ept inside of the city limits. He felt that if someone in the city thought they had to have a cow it should be kept outside of the city lUlits and he requested the ~he City Attorney to prepare such an ordinance for the next council meeting. . Councilman Bond said that he thought they should proceed very cautiOUSly along this I . !ine as by this process they might be taking milk away from chi~en who needed it , ~ery badly. Councilman Bond, Chairman of the Police Committee recommended the ~nstal!ation of north and south stop signs at the intersection of 13th and Olive Streets.
