All councilmen were present with the exception of pennington~~~ 2 The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved and the .~~ meeting herewith called to order by Mayor Large. Herschel Taylor addressed the council regarding the Civil Defense Fire Fighting Reserves and Police Reserves. He stated that Eugene was much slower in developing these reserves than the other towns in the state. He explained the I government was asking for ten reserve policemen and firemen for each paid employee in either department. He believed there would not be so m~ch difficulty in getting police reserves but it seemed to be difficult to get the public to en'list for fire reserves. He said these men should be young and physically fit and at the same time not subject to call. Their duties would be either in or outside of the City in case of necessity. The Goyernment had made no provision for payor compensation in case of injury. There was some question as to whether these reserves should be organized as part of the Police and Fire Departments, or if they would be a sep- arate organization. The question was raised that if they were organized as a part of the regular departments what would be the City's liability in case of an accident Attorney Calkins said he was not prepared to state at this time how that matter could be handled. It was the opinion of some of the council that the men would be working for the govermnent and not the City and there would be no liability on the City's part. Councilman Hawn thought, the council should render whatever weight they could toward developing these reserves. Mr. Taylor explained it was necessary for more publicity to be given this matter and the government requested that this work be carried out. Mayor Large stated he was sure Chief Nusbaum and Chief Bergman would be willing to do whatever they could in this matter. A motion was made and seconded and carried that the council give whatever support they could toward this 3 work. A request from G. T.
