Storer, Supervisor of the Bus line was present and addressed the Council regarding the proposed changes of the routing. The changes asked for on the Fairmount and University Loop buses was to turn north on Oak at 15th and at 11th and come north on Oak Street to 5th street-turn west on Willamette street and then out on the regular boute, not going north to the Depot as formerly. On the out-bound trip for the Uni versi ty Loop they vvere asking to continue east on 13th from Uni versi ty to Moss and turn south to 15th then take the regular route from there back to town. This would cut out the turn at 13th and University south to 15th and also discontinue service on 15th from Univeristy to Mdlss. On the College Crest bus they were askingto continue south on Willamette to the junction of Lorane and Friendly avenue and on Friendly avenue to 19th then over to Jefferson, north on Jefferson to 17th, then east to Willamette and down town from that point . This would disxmtinue the service on the out-bound trip on 17th from Willamette to Jefferson, Jefferson to 19th and on 19th from Jefferson to Willamette - on the in-bound trip it would discontinue the services going south on Lincoln from 17th to 19th and east on 19th from Lincoln to Willamette. After some discussion by the Council a motion was made, seconded and carried that this request for changes in the bus route be granted.

These people were present in support of the proposed Federal Housing project within the City of Eugene which had been presented to the Council by Paul W. Campbell for A. M. Gilbert and G. Vi. Miltonberger. A petition from Lodge #766 and #314 from the BIDotherhood of Railraod Trainmen, Order of Railroad conductors, H.of L.E. #542, Brotherhood of Railway clerks #1262, I.A.M. # 1229, Secretary Brotherhood of L.E. #476, was read by Chris Jensen, Chairman. The petition stated that the decision had been arrived at after careful study of the situa- tion and the petition also stated that there was no doubt about there being an acute housing situation in Eugene. It also stated that many new employees had been taken on by the Southern Pacific in Eugene since 1941, that several men with families that came to work in Eugene for the Southern Pacific were unable to find a place to live and were compelled to leave on this account. Mr. A.M. Gilbert through Paul W. Campbell had renewed the offer for 17 lots with a view of constructing houses under the Federal project as being proposed. The Finance Committee had inspected these lots this afternoon while looking at other lots for which the city had purchase offers, and the report of the Finance Committee regarding the offer of Mr. Campbell for these 17 lots was called for at this time. The Finance Committee stated that further study of the proposal would be necessary, they were recommending that plans and specification of the houses to be erected on each individual lot should be presented to the Committee before a9tion was taken as to the sale of these lots. Paul W. Campbell was present and stated that Mr. G. W. Miltonberger had not been able to return to Eugene during the day on account of an auto accident in which his wife had been injured but that he had talked to Mr. Miltonberger over the telephone loter in the afternoon and that he had at this time a list of 12 lots on which Mr. Miltonberger wished to make an offer to the comnlittee. It was the suggestion of the Finance Committee that the plans and specifications for houses under the Federal project should be filed with the Engineer within the next 2 or 3 days and no action be taken by the Council until the meeting of February 28th - giving interested persons time to inspect the plans and types of houses proposed for each lot. Paul W. Campbell stressed the need for iIrilllediate action. Councilman Barette stated that on October 18th when this proposal v.as first brought up that they had requested immediate action and that he did not think the Council should be in any hurry at this time but should proceed slowly and delay the sale of the lots until the meeting of February 28th. After considerable discussion by the Council and by different enlployees of the Southern Pacific the question was brought up as to whether only the lots for Mr. Gilbert which had been inspectffid this afternoon should be c,onsidered or whether the offer of !vIr. Mil tonberger should also be considered, and it was decided that" both of these offers should be considered and the Finance Committee are to inspect the Miltonberger lots before the next Council meeting. The following motion was made by Farrington and seconded by Barette: l)-tha~ the plans for the unit to be constructed on each lot be submitted previous to any action of the Council: 2)-that plans be in the hands of the City Engineer by Febryary 16th to allow time for inspection by any interested citizens: 3)-that any, action for the sale of lots be postponed until next regular meeting of Council February 28th: 4)-that the plans be submitted to the Board of Appeals for action before next regular,meeting of the Council, and that the Board of Appeals make their.:report to the, .GounciJ. >by ,Febr.1la:ry. 28th. \'f ;} ii I" I' ....
