Upon motion made and seconded the 14 motion was unanimously approved. I At this time Mayor Large asked that a communication from Dr. H. H. Norton regarding conditions at the old airport be read. This letter referred to a recent accident.at the airport in whi.ch damage to two or three planes amounting to several thousand dollars was rl~ne and it was recommended that something be done to enforce regulations to keep 1rresponsible perso'ns from tampering wi,th the planes. The letter also pointed out that there was insufficient hanger space at the present time and asked that private flyers be permitted to erect their own hangers. Councilman Brownson and Farrington explained tha t earlier in the year the matter of pri vete _' flyers erecting their 'own hangers had been taken up b~t no definite agreement had been reached. It was pointed out that Mr~ Harrell has a lease on the field and that any arraggements about hangers for private flyers would -have to be taken up with him. The question arose as to whether hangers constructed by the private flyers " should be the property of the city or if they should be allowed to remove the hanger when notified by the city .to vacate.- Dr. Norton suggested that he did not think it would be fair for individuals to pay for construction of the hangers and then not be allowed to dispose of them to someone else or remove them from the grounds if they so desired. He added that the private flyers might be willing to pay a nominal rental for the ground, say $1.00 a month, and that the hangers belong' to whomever constructed them and not the city. It was suggested that this rental of $1.00 a month might go to Joe Harrell because of his contract with the city, but Dr. Norton said that there was lots of room on the North end of the airport and that he was sure Mr. Harrell would be willing to cooperate with the city if the private flyers were allowed to erect their own hangers. A motion by Councilman Brownson seconded by Councilman Stewart that the private 'flyers be allowed to erect the hangers under the supervision of the city engineer and that they be permitted to remove the hangers on 90 days notice from the city. Councilman Farrington said that he would be glad to cooperate wit~ the private Clyers but he felt that this matter should have further_ consideration. A motion by Councilman Hawn, seconded by Bond was made that the Brownson motion be lai'd on ,the 'table, Was carried. The Mayor then referred this matter to the Judiciary Committee and the City Attorney 15 to report back. Councilman Barette re ported that he 'and the Ci ty Engineer investigated the complaint at 3rd and Monroe about the sidewalk and they found that this was on Southern Pacific property and that it would probably be taken care of by the 16 Southern Pacific Co. I Councilman Barette and the City Engineer reported regarding the light asked for at the intersection of the S. P. railroad at Monroe Street. Barette said that they investigated this at the same time and found that there were several trees that needed trimming and the light already in would be moved to the East side of the street. This would be all the light necessary. Mr. Clubb, City Enginee stated that he thought that the Water Board would be agreeable about moving the 17~light and that would solve the situation there. I Councilman Barette said that he had talked with Mr. Parker regarding the painting of the street sweeper and had made arrangements with the Department to deliver the sweeper to Mr. Parker on Wednesday and it would be re-painted over the 18 meekend. I Councilman Barette also reported that he and Mr. Clubb had looked at the trees on lOth and WaShington and they were old trees and in bad shape, but he had 19 done nothing about them as yet. For the Fire and Water Committee, Councilman Stewart said that the matter ~Of the light at 3rd and Monroe had been referred to his committee, but since Mr. 20 Barette had made the report he had nothing further to offer. Councilman Brownson referred to the letter from the Eugene Fruit Growers and stated that Mr. McCornack was out of town but:that he had discussed the matter . ~
