The minutes of the regular meeting of the Common Council held on Monday I .-". evening, September 8, 1941. All councilmen were present with the exception of Mr. ~ "'- '1:. Koppe. r .- ...'1 The minutes of the previous meeting were read and' approved and the meeting , , . ~..._" ~:2 herewith called to order by Mayor Large. Fred G. Knox was present and requested permission to hang banners adver- tizing the Lane County Fair. This permission was granted upon motion made, seconded I and carried by the council with the understanding that he cooperate with the buildin 3 inspector's office. Delbert R. French, president of the Lane County Humane Society, requested that the funds taken in from the dog licenses be turned over to the Humane Society. He stated that they would employ an officer for the full twelve months of the year to look after dogs and other animals. He said it was his understanding that the dog licenses would be collected by the City as before, but that he would likekto request that their man be allowed to issue licenses and collect the money and. turn it over to the City. Councilman Bond stated he was in accord 100% with the Humane Society, but the City had been conserving their funds and had been keepipg the pay of city employees down to bed-rock and as the city represented some 20,000 people, he did not believe it was wise to turn over this $700.00 or $800.00 in revenue .to an organization that .was representing some one hundred. to five hundred people. Councilman Farrington said he could see Councilman Bond's side of the case, but he felt that this 150 or 200 people representing the Humane Society were also repre- senting the entire city. Councilman Brownson agreed with Mr. Farrington in this matter and he stated he understood the law was for dog regulation and as the matter was now handled. there was no regulation to speak of and if the city was going to continue as they had been, it should be considered as a tax rather than a regulatory measure. Councilman Hawn wanted to know just what was the object of the dog license and Attorney Calkins explained it was mostly for the protection of sheep and other animals that might be ,killed by dogs. Councilman Stewart stated he believed the Humane Society could improve very nicely on the job the city had been doing. After considerable discussion a motion was made by Hawn, seconded by Bond that the. City I split its share of the dog license;money fifty-fifty with the Humane Society as the 4 collections were made. Motion was carried. A petition from the patrons of the Washington School District, petitioned the council for a police officer to be stationed at Broadway and High Streets during the hours that children were going and coming from school. It was pointed out that this district had been extended to South of Broadway and it was impossible for ~small children to cross this intersection alone. Councilman Bond said he thought this was a fair request and of. much more impor,tance than all of the dogs they had just considered. Mr. Bond pointed out that two new policemen had been asked for and if they were granted by the budget committee they would be able to take care of this intersection. Mr. Bond made a motion that this request be taken care of, motion was seconded by Stewart. and carried. Mr. C. A. Barnes, who had presented the petitions, stated it would be impossible for them to wait until the first of the year to have an officer at this intersection and it seemed to be the opinion of the council that this was a traffic situation that should be taken care of as soon as school started. Mayor Large suggested that two new policemen might be put on at the present time and paid out of the Parking Meter Fund. That way the situation could be taken care of as soon as school started. Councilman Bond told Mr. Barnes that they would endeavor 5 to take care of the traffic there. The Finance Committee recommended that the offer of C. D.

Councilman Brownson reporting for the Health Committee, brought ~p th~ question of the Ordinance governing auto trailors which had been passed early in the spring. He stated that this was.a question of sanitary and fire measure and that the' trailors had become much more numerous than was anticipated. He said there had been sixty-eight licenses' is'sued and seventeen turned down and that while they were allowed addmittance to sanitary facilities, this did not take care of the question of dish:water and garbage. It was pointed out that some of these trailors I had.even been ,occupying the streets, but Mr. .Clubb stat~d he did not know of any trailors in the streets that were being used. Councilman Farrington said he saw one.on the West side of town and had contacted the police and that after the third night this trailor had been removed, but it had been there and occupied for three weeks. Mr. Clubb explained that before a permit was granted, they had to show they had.access to toilets, city lights and a way-of disposing of their garbage. Councilman Brownson stated it was his understanding at the time of the ordinance was.drawn that no permits should be issued unless the trailor was connected with a sewer. After some discussion a motion was-made by Hawn and seconded by Brownson that a resolution be drawn up.to the effect that all trailors must be connected to the sewer and only a time limit of forty-eight hours would be granted those not 19 connected to the sewer. This resolution was~adopted by the council. RE.S 0 L UTI 0 N BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of Eugene that in enforcing the previsions of Ordinance No. 8672 with respect to trailors and trailor houses, that all trailors remaining on property longer than ~ . fort)-eight hours must-be connected with a city sewer and comply with all zoning, building, fire and other regulations of the City of Eugene. Mr. Brownson stated that this was the start of the ,time of year for the' turkey feather nuisance. He said he wished to draw the councilts att~ntion .to the I trouble last year at the time the turkey feathers were burned and said something should be done to stop this trouble. Y.iI'. Brownson stated that Mr. Hughes, care- taker of the City dump, said they were just starting to haul feathers out there. He said that Swift and Company, Meadowland, and four or five other concerns were. killing and there would be tons and.tons of feathers to. take care of. Mr. Hughes said-the city should cover up the feathers, sut he had not facilities for this. Councilman Bond said since the city did not allow anyone but the garbage haulers to haul garbage and forced them to take the feathers to. the city dump, it looked like.the city would have to provide someway of handling this situation. Engineer I Clubb said if the city would build an extra road, that these feathers might be dumped into a canyon there and after they were all hauled, the bulldozer could cover them up. Attorney Calkins said he did.not think the matter of these. turkey feathers was covered in the garbage ordinance and he did not believe the city had to dispose of them. It would be up to the concerns producing the feathers to take care of them. After considerabilie diseussion the matter was put over for two weeks with the suggestion that the Health Committee contact the different concerns who would have these feathers, with a view of making an extra charge of this work. Councilman Brownson stated. that Mr. Hughes, the caretaker at the dump, had said he could not renew his contract at $30.00 per month. He states there are no steel rags or aluminum coming out now and he requested his contract be renewed for $75.QO 20 per month. ~ 539~ -. ._- _ _ _. _._ M ----- - ~- - --. - - - - - - ~-'-~~ -=-. - ~~_:....:- _-:_- -~.: :: - . ---< ----~: --_-:-..:....~'::':. ---.--';.-----.- ---- - --~-~---=.:;:-...:..=..:...::-:.- - ::..._-..;:.;.:~ --- - --.... -,- - ---- ~- -- ~- - --. -. -. - p -- _._- - _ _ ----~------- --.-- --.-. Councilman Hawn reporting for the Parks said they had been able to get ten or eleven loads of dirt free from a sewer construction and these had been placed 2] on the Park roads. I ~Jl Councilman Pennington .reporting _for the Sewer Committee had no complete ~ J; ~n' report to make but said a group on Sou~h Washington Street was in need of a sewer. ~, He stated that Engineer Clubb had investigated this and he would like to have him .:'~;~. make a statement to the council. Mr. Clubb said these people were trying to work out some kind of a solution whereby they could get a sewer but up to the present time there was on party who was not agreeable to spending any money. Mr~ Brownson said tl.lese people were on the East side of the street but t ere was also a problem for the people on the West side of the street. Mrl Clubb explained that after I sewer arrangements could be made, it would accommodate parties on both sides of the street. It was pointed out that the only thing expected by the city was that they furnish the engineering services. Mr. Clubb stated they would be willing to pay the city a 5% fee for this service. Councilman Pennington asked if it was alright with the council that this project be handled in this way and he was told it was. Re said that the parties had been talking to him and he believed this matter could 22 be arranged satiSfactorily. Councilman Bond said when Mrs. Do~nert took charge of the detention room there WbS no furniture in the front room and that she had bought and paid for out of her own money a 9 x ~2 -congoleum rug and three chairs. Since she was leaving the employee of the city, she wondered if the city would care to buY, th.ese articles at ~ price of $18.50. Mr. Bond explained there was money in the police fund which could be used and he recommended these articles be bought for the sum of $18.50. 23 Motion was made, seconded and carried to this effect. Mayor Large stated that the C.A.A. w/?-nted to rent the building at the old . airport which is soon to be vacated by the weather bureau. He stated that now the city was getting only a $1.00 per year for the building and that the C.A.A. would be willing to pay the city $15.00 pe.r month rent. They would want some work done, some floor covering, some more lights and the building painted. It had been esti- mated this would cost about $100.00. Councilman Bond aSked if they would be able to take care of this work themselves if they could get the building for a cheaper rent. It was st~ted the G. A.A. could have funds for rent by the month but no I funds to make repairs. Mr. Clubb stated the floor in this building was in no con- dition to put down linoleum and he thought the floor should be painted. He said he had ~stimates on the cost of these different items but he was unable to find out just what the C.A.A. Would demand. A motion was made by Hawn and seconded by Bond 24 that this matter be referred to the City Engineer with the power to act. Mayor Large stated at this time it had been the original intention to locate the Administration Building at the new airport in the center of the East line but stated if the Army Engineers should take over the operation of the airport this location would be in their way and United Air Lines had requested that this building be located in the Southeast corner of the field.
