<br /> !: if Mr. Carlisle could qual,ify to do this work on the transmitter, and he stated
<br /> -:1 tha t he did not believe that Mr. Carlisle could pass the examina tion that would
<br /> I be necessary for this work as he was not a radio man. It was stated that unless
<br />,-~ Mr. Carlisle was kept on the job that it was likely the City would have to get I
<br /> along, with a part-time inspector and that this had not been satisfactory in the
<br />'!t~ past. lvIr . Hamilton stated that after the Newberry fire Dr. Norris had taken the
<br /> ,I matter up regarding an additional man to make electrical inspections on old wiring
<br /> :1
<br /> J and the contention was that if proper re-inspection had been made it was qmite
<br /> I likely both the Newberry and the College Side Inn fires might have been averted.
<br />6 ;1 Councilman Bond said that he would like to say that he agreed with what had been
<br /> said about Mr. Carlisle but he did not see how one ~mployee could be singled out
<br /> and.be given a raise at this time. Councilman Hawn said that he felt this was
<br /> ! very important and that he considered Mr. Carlisle a key man and something should
<br /> i
<br /> , be done to retain him and Mr. Koppe stated that he agreed with Mr. Hawn. Council-
<br /> man :Farrington stated that it vvould be very bad if on account of raising one man's
<br /> wages the Fire Department should walk out. Councilman Stewart said that he felt
<br /> I this was only one of several problems which we have already had a~ which will
<br /> be coming up for the duration of the present budget. He stated that he was quite
<br /> 1 sure that on account of the loss of some of the higher-paid employees of the
<br /> Fire Department being replaced by cheaper men that the employees of the Fire
<br /> I Department could be given a $10.00 raise and not exceed the amount of salaries
<br /> allowed in the budget and that he felt that the head of each department should
<br /> I see if something along this line could be accomplished. Councilman Barette said
<br /> i that he did not think we would be able to compete with the government on salaries,
<br /> I
<br /> I and did not see how this raise could be granted Mr. Carlisle. Councilman Bond
<br /> I said that the whole question was to raise the $7.00 additional requested by Mr.
<br /> 'I
<br /> I Carlisle, but that he felt it could not be taken out of' the Emergency Fund.
<br /> I There was some further discussion among members of the Council regarding the situat on
<br /> 'I
<br /> ,I but there was a motion by Mr. Hawn that the salary of Mr. Carlisle be raised ,$7.00
<br /> ':
<br /> I per month the money to he taken out of the Emergency Fund. As there was no second
<br /> to the motion Mr. Hawn stated that he would change his motion to read a $7.00
<br /> per month increase in salary fro Mr., Carlisle to begin Sept. 1, 1942, the money
<br /> to be taken out of the Parking Meter Fund, as Mr. Carlisle was looking after the
<br /> traffic signals a g60d deal of the time. This motion was seconded by Barette.

<br /> Councilman Farrington stated that the matter of investingsurplusffunds in
<br /> War Bonds had been referred to the Finance Committee but that he had not had tiiJle
<br /> 'to call a committ'ee meeting, bUt; that he thbllght Councilman Hawn had something to
<br /> report. Councilman Hawn said he had secured a schedule of the different War Bonds
<br /> being sold, and he explained to the Council the various phases of these different
<br />8 bonds and said it was his recommendation that the City invest the surplus funds
<br /> in the Swimming Pool and the Sewage Disposal funds in the series "GIf bondsl He
<br /> I said that there was a limit on the amount of these "Gn bonds that could be carried
<br /> by an individual or a corporation of $100,000.00 and that the Water Board bad already
<br /> purchased this amount of these bonds. He stated that he had addressed a letter to
<br /> I the department regarding this matter but had not had a reply as to whether the
<br /> I department would allow the City of, Eugene to purchase additional bonds, but that
<br /> I he would probably have a reply within the next day or two. After some further
