<br />DURING THE MONTH OF MAY 1959 AMOUNTED TO $595,565.00 WHICH IS $257,835.00 LESS
<br />THAN ISSUED THE SAME MONTH A YEAR AGO. LAST YEAR THE BIG ITEM DURING MAY WAS
<br />FOR THE LANE COUNTY FAIR BOARD AGRICULTURE BUILDING WHICH AMOUNTED TO $335,376.00.
<br />
<br />THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DURING MAY 1959 ANSWERED 29 ALARMS OF WHICH 9 WERE NON-
<br />FIRE AND 6 RURAL CALLS WITH AN ESTIMATED LOSS OF $1250.00. THIS DEPARTMENT FUR-
<br />THER REPORTS THAT THE HOME INSPECTION PROGRAM WAS COMPLETED DURING THE MONTH WITH

<br />
<br />ACCORDING TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON EACH OF
<br />YOUR DESKS, OUR CRIMINAL CASE LOAD DECREASED SOMEWHAT DURING MAY, THERE BEING
<br />214 CASES REPORTED AS COMPARED TO 291 DURING THE PRECEDING MONTH. WE HAD 16
<br />CASES OF BURGLARY REPORTED, 12 OF GRAND LARCENY, AND 52 OF PETTY LARCENY. WE
<br />MADE ONLY 71 ARRESTS FOR INTOXICATION, DISORDERLY CONDUCT AND VAGRANCY OFFENSES
<br />COMPARED TO 85 IN APRIL. AT THE MUNICIPAL JAIL WE BOOKED IN A TOTAL OF 212
<br />PRISONERS IN MAY, SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE 203 REPORTED IN THE PREVIOUS MONTH, BUT
<br />THE DAILY AVERAGE POPULATION WAS ONLY 50 AS COMPARED TO 59 IN APRIL. OF THE
<br />TOTAL BOOK INS, 19 WERE ADULT FEMALES. WE SERVED 4936 MEALS AT .AN AVERAGE COST
<br />OF 13.9~ PER MEAL. THE JAIL GARDEN HAS BEEN REPLANTED AND IS PROGRESSING VERY
<br />WELL AS OF THIS WRITING.

<br />ALSO ON EACH OF YOUR DESKS IS A COpy OF THE PARKS & RECREATION DEPARTMENT
<br />MONTHLY REPORT IN WHICH THEY REPORT THAT THE fIRST MAJ~R CASE OF REMOVAL OF PLANTS
<br />FROM THE RHODODENDRON GARDEN TOOK PLACE DURING MAY. ALTHOUGH THE NUMBER OF PLANTS
<br />TAKEN WAS NOT LARGE, THEY WERE ALL CHOICE PLANTS. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS ASSIST-
<br />ING IN THE INVESTIGATION OF THIS CASE. IT IS INDEED UNFORTUNATE THAT ANYONE WOULD
<br />TAKE PLANTS FROM THIS GARDEN WHEN THE EUGENE RHODODENDRON SOCIETY, PUBLIC SPIRITED
<br />CITIZENS AND THE CITY HAVE PUT SO MUCH EFFORT INTO ITS DEVELOPMENT. ALL PLANTS
<br />IN THIS GARDEN HAVE BEEN DONATED OR PURCHASED THROUGH DONATED FUNDS. THIS IS
<br />PARTICULARLY SIGNIfICANT WHEN THIS GARDEN HAS RECEIVED PUBLICITY IN THE JUNE 1959
<br />ISSUE OF SUNSET MAGAZINE. GICK MEMORIAL FOUNTAIN WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE GARDEN
<br />IS SHOWN IN A PHOTOGRAPH ON PAGE 72 OF THE JUNE ISSUE. THE GEORGE OWEN ROSE
<br />GARDEN IS ALSO MENTIONED ON PAGE 190."
