Stanley 0tevenson, representing the Chamber of Commerce"Committee and ~chool
Board, addressed the council relative to the proposed South willamette Athletic,
field, petitioning an amendment to the proposed ballot title for the ~pecial Election
to be held on May 20, 1938. Mr. Stevenson pointed out that the City had title to
the prpperty against which ,there were bonds outstanding and the 'purpose of this,
levy was to payoff the bonds and the ~chool Board receive a deed to the property
for athletic and playground purposes. He felt that under the present wording, i~
would give the impression that this one-half mill levy would be for the purpose of
acquiring additional property, which, of course, is not the case. He submitted to
the council the following form for theif consideration:
UShall the Charter of the city of Hugene be amended, authorizing,
empowering and directing the Council to levy a tax of one-half
mill on the dollar valuation upon all the taxable property in the
city of ~ugene to be applied in payment of bonds now 6utstanding
against lands owned by the City of Eugene and to transfer by deed
to School District No~ 4 the seventeen acre south ~illamette Street
tract for athletic field and park purposes.n

The City Recorder, having been requested, outlined the entire procedure that had
heretofore taken place: On January 31, 1938, the council passed a resolution call-
ing for this special election, and on the same day passed Ordinance No. 8532 or-.
dering the election. Then, in ,due course of time, the City Attorney presented the
Recorder with a form of sample official ballot and voters' pamphlet, but that at~the
present time none of this material had been presented to the printers. The Recqrde
stated that in his opinion the only question involved ~as, :'Does the ~roposed'change
of ballot title conform with the statements made in the resolution and ordinance as
passed?U ,In other words, any new ballot title that might be'used could not be in
variance with the resolution and ordinance. Acting Attorney, Winsor Calkins,
stated that it was a very fine point and whether or not it was too late to effect
this change, he would ha~e to give it further study.' Stanley Stevenson pointed out
that Lawrence T. Harris, expressed the opinion that a change could be made without
any question. Upon motion made and seconded, this request was referred to the
Judiciary Committee and Ci~y Attorney with power to act.

Herbert Smeed, on behalf of Harry Abele, requested waiver of certain require
ments of construction in Fire Zone No. 2 so as to allow Mr. Abele to erect two
duplex residences on the "rear of Lot 2, Block 8, Skinner's Addition, more commonly
known"as 234 ~est Seventh Avenue. It was revealed that the residences were to be
of one-story construction, modern and a decided improvement for the neighborhood.
This request had been denied by the Board of Appeals at their meeting of April 15.
Moti'on was made by Councilman Hendershott and seconded by Reid ,to overrule the
decision of the Board of Appeals and grant the request. When the question was
raised as to the possible increase in fire insurance rates because of the waiver of
the building requirements, Mr. Hendershott withdrew his motion with consent of
the second and the matter was left with the council to report as a committee of"the
whole at the next meeting. Mayor Large appointed the Judiciary Committee to check
/4 the insurance rates and it was so ordered.
Mr. Jack Kesling's appearance before the Board of Appeals for a recommenda-
