Mayor Large called on Colonel Waller to explain what he considered needed at the North end of the old Airport to accommodate the troops that will be < passing through Eugene. Colonel Waller explained that not only the troops that had gone South would be coming back but also the troops at those pre~ent stations would be coming up North this' fall. He explained that this ,movement of troops back and forth~would probably be going on for the next three or fout'years at least. He explained that there was no accommodations at the airport at the present time at all and what troops had already stopped there had been invited down to the Armory to take their showers. However, this could not be done anymore as the Armory was now occupied by the Gov't Engineers. He stated that ~ater should be run in out there and that there should be at least 12 toilets and 12 shower heads and that hot water for the showers would be greatly appreciated Colonel Waller added that if 2000 troops stopped there overnight there would probably be a $1000 spent for supplies to say nothing of the boys who would come down town and spendconsiderable money. It was pointed out that there was no sanitary sewer at the airport and that 12th and Polk would be the nearest connec- tion, and that a sceptic tnak would probably have to be used. Councilman hawn , stated that he thought that something should be done at once and that this should be referred to a committee. He stated that the approximate cost of a tiolet unit would be around $50. After some discussion by the Council this matter was referred to Councilman Stewart head of the Fire and Water Committee, Councilman Farrington head of the Finance Committee and W. C. Clubb, City Engineer, and Mr. J. W. McArthur of the Eugene Water Board to investigate and report back at the n~xt council meeting. j, 3 4 Mr. Myrmo was present and asked for some solution in regard to cars parking in front of his place of business at 1937 Franklin Blvd. He explained that t.q.e cars cannot stop OIl the p,ighway and that there is not room enough between the highway and sidewalk for a cal< to park without being partially on the' sidewalk. It was suggested that there was ~ery little sidewalk traffic in that neighborhood and that it might be possible for them to park partially on the sidewalk. Council- man Bond said that he did not believe that permission should be ,granted without further investigation. The matter was referred to the Police Department to report back at the next council meeting. Councmlman Koppe reporting for the Judiciary Committee brought up the matter of the $21.75 bill from Mrs. Mary B. Wheeler in connection with an acci- dent on the sidewalk of 10th and Pearl Streets. At this time an additional bill that had been received from Mrs. Wheeler was read, the amount of which was $11.00.
