<br />'1 A petition regarding the annexation of that part of Riverwood Addition
<br />'I ,I lying just outside the City1imits, which had been before the Council on
<br />July 13, 1942, was read at this time. It was explained that this was a very
<br />small tract of ground and that addttional territory in that locality should
<br />be added to this tract and the City Recorder was instructed to write a letter
<br />5, to Mr. 1. W. Lindley, who had presented the petition, to see if additional
<br />:1 property could be included and to have Mr. Lindley present at the next Council
<br />, meeting. Councilman Hawn stated that it might be a good idea to write a letter
<br />i: to other outlying districts regarding annexation but no 8ction was taken
<br />along this line.
<br />
<br />At this time Councilman Farrington arrived.
<br />
<br />;,: Mr. 1. B. Sigwart, Mr. T. A. Stocker, and Mr. A. E. Hamilton were present,
<br />;: representing the electricians. Mr. Stocker at thi s time addressed the Council
<br />,: regarding Mr. 1. W. Ccirlisle, the Electrical Inspector, who was about to resign
<br />from that position. Mr. Stocker .said that the electricians felt that something
<br />should be done to keep MI'. Carlisle on the job; that he was a particularly
<br />good man for the position, and that he would be very hard to replace. He
<br />r stated that Mr. Carlisle had ilfdicated he would be willing to stay on the job
<br />with an increase in salary of $7.00 per month. He stated that for the last
<br />four-month period the time that Mr. Carlisle had put in on the traffic signals
<br />alone amounted to about $74.00 per month. He said that these signals were
<br />very complicated and needed an expert electrician to keep them in shape. He
<br />I stated that Mr. Carlisle also looked after the work in the City Hall, at the
<br />~ shops, the parks, the paving plant, and also assisted in collecting sales
<br />r licenses and that he was well worth the small amount of raise that he was asking
<br />) for. Mr. Stocker stated that the licenses and fees previously coililected had
<br />been more than paying for the Inspector's salary. He stated that it was
<br />necessary to have a competent electrical inspector on the job who knew more than
<br />the journeyman electrician whose work he was checking. Mr. Sigwart at this tinie
<br />stated that he wished to back up everything that Mr. Stocker had said, and that
<br />he felt it was foolish to let Mr. Carlisle get away for this small additional
<br />amount that he wes asking. He said that Mr. Carlisle cpuld probably go to the
<br />shipyards and nllike $400.00 a month. Mr. Hamilton stated that Eugene has a
<br />1 . record of having a very competent Electrical Inspector, one who really checks
<br />(I up on the job and that he wished to endorse what Mr. Stocker had said. Mayor
<br />~ Large at this time explained that there was no doubt in his or the Council's
<br />~ mind regarding Mr. Carlisle's qualifications, but that the Council was at a
<br />;: loss to know how to go about raising his salary. Councilman Hawn asked if it
<br />,I
<br />:, would be possible for Mr. Carlisle to take over the radio work in the Police
<br />i! Department for which an amount of $15.00 per month was being paid. Mr. Stocker
<br />C said that previously the electricians had asked that Mr. Carlisle be relieved
<br />· of the radio work in the Police Department in order that he might have more
<br />time to devote to re-inspection of old wiring. Chief Bergman stated that the
<br />$15.00 being paid now was for work on the transmitter, and he stated that he
<br />
<br />did not believe that Mr. Carlisle could do this work. Mr. Stocker was asked
