Calkins 7.39 (i1 OJ- QC 7 Mr. Farrington stated there had been nothing-done so far in regard to the audit for the first six months of 1942 and he recommended that the Recorder be insturcted toadvertise for bids for this audit. Motion by Bond and seconded by Hawn that the audit bids be called for was carried. I Councilman Barette reporting for the street committee said they aad just cleEned up from the recent flood when the freeze came along and this had really put the department to the test. He stated that they had been working diligently' on cleaning up the streets and they would be picking up fallen limbs for some time. He said there were broken limbs that would be dangerous to leave in the trees along 8';l the pal-'kings and it would take another two weeks before the job' would be completed. 1 Mr. Barette also reported that Mr. Lafferty at 412 Pearl Street had object d to him regarding the condition of the railroad tracks on Pearl Street. He said under the conditions as they existed the street was blocked and asked that planking be put in as a temporary measure. Engineer Clubb explained that the railroad company had only .been completed about 'ten days and ,in tha t time 'there had been no chance for the street department to do the paving. He stated that just as soon as they could get a clear day the city would pave these tracks. Mr. Clubb said he would take the matter up with the railroad company and see if it would be safe to put 9 in temporary planking. Councilman Stewart said one of the councilman had recently become a father and he thought the council should congratulate Mr. Hawn. The Mayor said it seemed to him,like it was -up to Mr. Hawn to furnish the cigars. Mr. Hawn said he had brought the cigars along and also gave the Mayor and members of the council a 1 prospectus that he and Mrs. Hawn had sent out announcing the new baby. Councilman Stewart said that in view of the emergency caused by the war it seemed that it was advisable that the fire department should have two gas masks. The cost of two gas masks would be about $100.00 a piece and he would like an expression from the council as to what they thought about the purchase. Councilman Farrington stated that it might be the means of saving a number of lives and he thought it was a good idea. Councilman Stewart stated these masks were large and contained a compartment for o;Jygen. He said it wou'ld be necessary for the, firemen to become familiar with how to wear these gas masks. Mr.' Stewart thought it could be arranged to take the money out of the fire department budget as set up for the first six months of 1942. On motion made and seconded, Mr. Stewart was authorized 11 to buy these two masks. Mr. Stewart also reported he had a request for a street light on Sunset Boulevard at one of the sharp turns, but had not nad time to investigate and would 12 report back at the next council meeting. Mayor Large brought up the question of the down town cluster lights which had been out for some time on account of the blackout situation. He stated that he had talked to Mr. McArthur this afternoon regarding the cluster lights and Mr. McArthur had stated that if the lights were going to be out for some time, they would be deducted from the regular light bills. Mayor Large stated that Mr. McArthur had indicated that if it is the wish of the council that these lights be turned back on the Water Board would make a temporary controlled system so that the lights could be turned off instantly in case of a blackout. It was pointed out that as long as the advertising lights were on ahd the nemn signs were lighted, there was not much demand for the cluster lights but that when the advertising lights had been turned off the streets were very dark. Councilman Hawn stated he had a complaint about the dark streets and that no doubt there would be numerous tire thefts and if, there were no lights on down town, the situation might become serious. After some discussion a motion was made and seconded that it was the council's recommendation that the Water Board make the proper installation to turn these, cluster lights on and off, and that they be turned off only during a blackout. Motion was carried. The Recorder was authorized to notify the Water Board by letter 13 f this request. The Health Committee had no report. ,I .1 Councilman Hawn reporting for the Parks stated that Mr. Lamb had an acciden while working and that he was now in the hospital and would probably appreciate a call from the council. Mr. Hawn stated there had been some provision in the budget for extra help and that just at this time there was more work then Mr. Junne 14 could take care of and an extra man had been put on to help him out. Councilman Bond stated that previously a transfer for a beer license from Mr. MaCkey to a Mr. Hinshaw for Frank's Place had been allowed. Mr. Bond stEllSed that the State Liquor Control Board had refused to grant this license to Mr. Hinshaw owing to the fact he already had another place. Mr. Clifford Nrac'key and Marie L. Mackey were asking that they be granted a license for Frank's Place. It was the committee's report that this license be granted. On motion made and l5~econded this transfer was allowed. I ~ ~ 589 - -~..... - -.-.-. -. -- - - --~------ ----- I Councilman Bond also report~d that there was need for another filing cabinet in the Police Department. 'l'his cabinet could be purchased for $36.75 and he was 16~ making a motion to buy it. This motion was seconded by Brownson and carried. Councilman Stewart brought up the matter of sick leave for city employees. He said the recent action of allowing employees six days during the year for sickness only mentioned th~ street department and he thought it should extend to all city employees. Motion was made by;,-:'l,Br. owns onr'! and seconded by Barette that all 17 Ii'. city employees be allowed six days a year on account of sickness with pay. The Sewage'Disposal report, Police Department, Engineer's'and Police Matron's reports for the month of December, 1941 were read and ordered placed on 18 ,file. ,'.:::..., ~ ~ I I The Milk Inspector's report was read and after seading it, Councilman Bond asked what ,the extent of the restaurant inspection was. Councilman Hawn also brought up the question of the cracked dishes and cups at th~ restaurants and wondered if the:"ci ty did not have an ordinance against this. Counc ilman Brownson stated that previously there had been a detailed report by the health board but the recommendations in this report had been tabled temporarily. He st2ted that with only a part time health officer, there was not much that could be done regarding the restaurant inspections and that without some definite set up, no material improvement could be made. Mr. Brownson also stated that tl.iere was a state inspector who had worked in town and had closed some places on account of conditions, but that he did not think our milk inspector had been very firm even 19'ih...in some places where improvements should be made. The Electrical Inspector, Mr. Carlisle, handed in a report which was read at this time. Councilman Stewart stated he had aE3ked the e-lectrical inspector to make a report in order to determine about the inspection of the electrical wiring in the old buildings. He stated this was ~ very good report but he hoped in the 20 ~uture the inspector' would be able to devote more time to checking the old wiring. A rE?solution regarding the change of the fine in the dog ordinance No. 8696 was read. Attorney Calkins pointed out that the city's ordinance as passed provided for a $25.00 penalty whereas the state law set a limit of $10.00 and this resolution should be adopted to correct this ordinance. Motion was made and 21?-seconded and the resolution adopted. R E 8,0 L UTI 0 N WHEREAS, the Common Couuncil of the City of Eugene on the 14th day of Ootober, 1941 passed Ordinance No. 8696 providing for the licensing of dogs; which ordinance provides in Section 7 that upon conviction of a violation of the ordinance the person shall be fined not less than $5.00 nor more than $25.00 and the costs of the presecution, and ' WHEREAS, through a typog~ap~ical error the figure "$25.00" was written where the ordinance actually provided for "$10.00". Therefore The Recorder is hereby instructed and directed to correct Section 7 of said ordinance to read"---by a fine of not less than $5.00 nor more than $10.00." I Curb cut' number 932 was granted at 1924 Hilyard Street as recorumended by Engineer Clubb. The curb cut number 933 at 271 East 6th Avenue was granted as recommended by Engineer Clubb as follows: 30 foot cut, 40 fCbiDt cut and 30 foot cut 22\l! on 6th Avenue. A letter from Weikko M. Rasanen was read in which he asked damages on account of running into fallen limbs caused by the silver thaw. The letter was 23 ~ ordered placed on file. I Mayor Large stated the Chamber of Commerce had supplied the city with cards so that employees might designate amounts to be deducted from their salaries to buy defense bonds. Mayor Large stated there had been talk of the government making this procedure mandatory but that so far nothing had been done along that line. He stated however if any of. the city employees cared to designate sums to be deducted from salaries to buy stamps and bonds, the Recorder could make the 24 1i\deductions. The Recorder reported a letter from the Aetna Life Insurance Company dated December 17, 1941. The letter the life insurance company wrote pointed out that if city employees entered any branch of the military service an additional premium of $50.00 per year per $1,000 would be charged and this extra premium of $50.00 would be subject to change at any time. The letter stated that $10,000 government insurance was available and it was the recommendation of the Aetna Life Insurance Company that ifcity employees entered any of the military services, the group life ~ 590 25 ' insurance policy should be dropped. A motion was made by Farrington and seconded by Hawn that if any city employee entered the military service that group life insurance would be disEontinued. Motion was carried. ~,..,...... \' r (i ~ A letter from the Bureau of Labor requesting that certain changes be made in the electrical wiring at the city barn at,lOl West 5th Street be made.

There was considerable discussion as to how much time should be allowed for these payments to be made. Councilman Hawn stated that the ordinance had been passed stating that payments be made by January lOth and he thought this should be adhered to. Councilman Farrington and Barette also stated they did not favor the idea of giving them a month's time.
