<br />flad been prepared by the City Attorney and he felt it should be passed at this tim~.
<br />The Ordinance had its first reading and Councilrr.an Brownson stated tha t some changi
<br />should be made in Section 9 where the sale of liquor waE prohibited, for the reaso
<br />some of the hotels have State Liquor permits to allow them to sell liquor. A moti n
<br />was made, seconded, and carried that this section 9 be amended to read nexcept
<br />as provided in the State Law of Oregon". The Ordinance was read the second and

<br />Councilman Pennington, chairman of the Parks Committee, had been exucsed
<br />from the meeting, but Councilman Hawn stated that he understood Councilman
<br />Pennington was going to make a report to the Council regarding the purchase of
<br />a SwimmingPool site. Mayor Large stated that Judge Hurd had made the City an offe
<br />for a five-acre tract at $200.00 per acre; this tract being south of the Amazon
<br />ana inside of the present fairgrounds. Councilmen Koppe and Barette stated that
<br />they had rather favored a location back of the butte, for the swimming pool, but
<br />they had understood that a citizen's committee previously had recommended the site
<br />at the fairgrounds and Councilrnan Koppe said that it was his understanding that
<br />Councilman Pennington had intended to recommend the purchase of the site at the
<br />fairgrounds. In the absence of Councilman Pennington this matter was put over unt~l
<br />the next Council meeting.

<br />Councilman Davis, reporting for the Sewer Committee, said that Mr. Cook had
<br />asked permission to put in a victory garden on the Heckathorn tract at the foot
<br />of Polk Street, and that Mrs. Heckathorn was going to move from the house and Mr.
<br />Cook was aSking for permisSion to rent the house. Mr. Davis explained there was
<br />a well on the property, but that since the flood the water was not suitable for
<br />10 i drinking purposes. He stated that if the City should provide suitable drinking
<br />water and other accomodations. It was pointed out L.at this was very nice soil
<br />for a Vic tory garden, but that it waul d probably cost the City more to' provide the
<br />drinking water than they would be able to get rent. A motion was made, seconded,
<br />and carried that the house and grounds be offered for a rental value of $10.00
<br />per month, the house to be accepted as it is without additional provisions for
<br />water or other conveniences.

<br />FOFce asking for a raise in salaries and that he would turn this petition over to
<br />the committee which had been appointed e~rlier in the meeting to deal with this
<br />subject.
<br />
<br />Councilman Hawn stated that a check of the traffic on WillametteStreet had
<br />been made and it appeared that there should be more time given by the traffic
<br />lights for the north and south traffic than for the east and west, and that the
<br />committee was recommending that the traffic lights on 6th, 7th, and 8th be made
<br />to change green at the same time, and that the lights on 9th, lOth, and 11th be
<br />made to change green at the same time, and tht a slight increase in the length of

<br />Mayor Large stated there was a second building back of the Butte_ that the NYA
<br />wished to dispose of and that the Engineer had recommended this billlding be moved
<br />on a City lot at Lawrence and Cheshire Streets and be rented by the City. Mr. Clubb
<br />st~ted that the buildihg would only have to be moved about five hundred feet, but
<br />that it might be hard to get any house movers at the present time. On motion
<br />by Barette, seconded by Brownson, and carried, this recommendation was approved.
<br />
<br />
<br />Kt this time Councilman Stewqrt brought up the question about what the City
<br />was to do for a dog pound, and how it was to be looked after. He stated he would
<br />like to see the Humane Society take over the dog situation entirely and that
<br />Mr. Claypool had said to him that if the City could provide a house on somelot
<br />that the City now owns, that that would go a long way toward solving the upkeep
<br />of the dogs. Councilman Farrington said he believed that if the Humane Society
<br />could be induced to take care of the dog situation it would be better than if
<br />the police department undertook the work. Councilman Hawn stated he would like
<br />to see the matter turned over for yearly operation by the Humane Society; that he
<br />thought the entire dog receipts should be turned over to the Humane Society and
<br />that an arrangement should be made in the budget for the City to match this
<br />amount of money out of the general Fund. After some further discussion regarding
