All councilmen were i ~ I Ii present with the exception of Mr. Brownson. II 't :1 Mr. John T. Lortch, Attorney for the United, Airlines, and Mr. Ii representing, the United Airlines, were present and Mayor Large asked I Mr. Lortch to make an explanation of the changes in the City's contract I" h with the United Airlines, which the Army was requesting made. Mr. Lortch I~ :1 explained that the Army Engineers were requesting that certain changes I, be made in the contract with the United Airlines at Medford, Salem, d Ii Albany, and Eugene. He said that the request was that the government 11 be given an exclusive lease for the duration of the War and for six months !I thereafter and that the Army would be aSking for a lease of the Airport for il a term of 25 years, but that the lease would be modified in some respects 'I after the duration of the War. He said the government was only offering ~,; a rental of $1.00 per year for the airport, but that they would take over Ii "~I the operation and maintainance of the airport for the duration of the War .' I:: and six months thereafter. He said that the Army would be asking for a .', 1 Ii lease of' the United Airlines building on the airport but that the United i: Ai~lihes was proposing that they would pay the City of Eugene the regular ;i rental fee as provided in the lease, and also the landing charges, even ,"I though they were subject to the rules and regulations of the Army for the /,1 11 duration of the War. He explained that the United Airlines was willing to " :, I, do whatever the Army was asking them to do and was glad to cooperate in II II every way. He stated that the Army was not quite ready at this time to Ii p make their proposition to the City but that the Army Engineers would :1 probably be in Eugene in the near future with their proposition that they "i \: have to submit. He stated that at that time it woul d be necessary that ~;: ~t certain changes be made in the lease that the City has w~th the United :i Airlines. Mr. Lortch had drawn up a temporary amendatory agreement which 'I I, was handed to City Attorney Clakins, and which he read to the Council. Mr II Lortch said that there was nothing definite that the Council could act on , at thi s time, but that he would leave the proposed amendatory agreement ii wi th the City Attorney and that after the Army Engineers had made t:leir 'I I, proposal to the City, the proposed changes in the City's lease with the r' ,. United Airlines could be made. .' j! r On motion the meeting adjurned. ,I tit p,~ 11 'I !, j; I I: .I I I' ,I i' ;1 l' tif ~ ':f ~!l I: Ii :,t l'~ " F i'l, I ~, " r".

I i"q:i ;,. -'" I All Councilmen were present with the exception of Mr. Hawn. t,....~:, .< I An Ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance, No. 8413 having had its first I reading on August 24, 1942, had its second reading at this time. The district , .1 affected by this change would be as follows: j "Beginning at the Northwest Corner of Lot 2, Block 4, West Sixth Street I Addition running thence North through Lot 7 and along the West line of I I Lot 2, Block 5 and Lot 2, Block 4, Walters and Seifferts Addition and along 'I the West line of Lot 2, Block 5 and the West line of Lots 9 and 2, Block 4, Croner's Addition; thence North to a point 140 feet South of the South line I of Second Ave. West which is the South line of the Light Industrial District I as shown on the Zoning IvIap of the City of Eugene; thence West to the West : I City Limits; thence South along the West City Limits to the North line of 'I Lot 5, Block 3, Grand Prairie Addition, thence East to the place of beginning" A hearing had been advertised to be held at this time on this proposed zoning change, and objections were called for by the Mayor. Attorney Whitten Swafford was present and presented a petition of protest signed by some eighty citizens. Several interesteddcitizens were also present and Mr. Hanson, lvIr. Mack, Mrs. Busey, and others spoke objecting to the proposed zoning change, all claiming that they had either bought residences or built residences in that location with the under- 1 standing that it was a single family residence district, and would not be change~ to a light industrial district. Councilman Bond stated that this matter had been before the Council once or twice before and that they did not seem to be getting I anywhere by listening to the discussion~ of interested citizens. He stated that he for one believed that they had a legitimate complaint and was not favorable .1 to making the proposed zoning change, and that he moved that the Ordinance proposing the zoning change be tabled. This motion was seconded by Farrington. Fay Bennett, Realtor, stated that the reason the proposed zoning change had been asked for was that the Consolidated Freight Lines wished to build a freight depot between rl'hird and Fourth Streets and west of Almaden. Councilman Farrington i stated that he did not think Mr. Bennett had strengthened his case any by stating I that it was the Consolidated Freight Lines that wished to put a depot in there. , I I He said that anyone living on Sixth Street was familiar with the excess noise i I made by these diesel freight trucks and this, together with the loading and un- I loading all night, he did not consider should be in a residence district~ Councilman Brownson stated tfha-it he thought there was some merit on both sides of the question and he would like to see the Ordinance held over till another meeting. The original question was called for and on roll call councilmen voting aye: Bond, Farrington, Barette, Stewart, and Pennington. Councilmen. voting no: Koppe and Brownson, absent, Hawn. The motion was declared carried 5 to 2 and the I proceedings ordered tabled. : T. E. Smith, representing the Oregon Motor Stages, asked to be granted the I right to make certain changes in the College Crest Loop as follows~ I I Old Route-5th and Willamette to junction of Willamette and Lorane Highway, , thence around College Crest Loop to 19th and Jefferson, thence to 19th and I Willamette and then to town. New Route-5th and Willamette to 17th and 2 Willamette to 17th and Jefferson to 19th and Jefferson to 19th and Willamette to College Crest Route back to 19th and Jefferson to 17th and Jefferson to .17th and Lincoln to 19th and Lincoln to 19th and Willamette and back to town. A motion WcS made by Brownson and seconded by Barette and carried, that this , permission be granted. I : At this time Councilman Hawn appeared in the Council Chambers. , The proposed annexation of a small part of Riverwood Addition, now lying I outside of the City limits, be annexed to the City was taken up at this time. I I Mr. L. W. Lindley, one of the petitioners, living at 301 North Adams Street, ! was present and gave his views as to why the annexation should be made. While , I the petition was signed by nine people it represented only five families and the , area was considered very small to hold an election for annexation. The Recorder had addressed a letter to Mr. Lindley on August 27th, asking that additional 3 territory be added to the request for annexation, bu t Mr. Lindley stated he had i done nothing along this line; that he was waiting for the hearing at this Council '1 meeting. It was pointed out to Mr. Lindley that it would be impossible to get I it on the November ballot if the matter was not acted on at this Council meeting. I A motion was made by Councilman Pennington that the proposed annexation be put I on the November ballot but there was no second to this motion. After some discussi n i by the Cbuncil, a motion was made by Bond and seconded by Barette that this i ! proposed annexation be put off until a later date. The motion was carried. It i was explained to Mr. Lindley that the Council was very favorable to annexation I of outside territory, and that if a larger tract could be considered, the Council i would probably be favorahle to holding a special election at that time. The Judiciary Committee had no report.

' I I The bill of the League of Oregon Cities in the sum of $416.76 for membership I i dues for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1942 and ending June 30, 1943, had I been referred to the Finance Committee at a previous meeting with the suggestion '- i that they take this matter up with the Eugene Water Board with a view of the Water I Board paying half of this bill on account of the services that the Water Board : received from the League of Oregon Ci ti es. Counc ilman Farrington at this time l reported that the committee had not taken the matter up with the Eugene ~ater I Board but that Councilman Hawn had talked with Mr. McArthur about the matter and i Mr. Farrington aSked Mr. Hawn to make a report at this time. Councilman Hawn I stated that he told Iv~r. McArthur that he had no right totake the matter up official \ as representing tile Finance Committee and only talked to Mr. McArthur informally. ; He stated that a rule had been made by the League of Oregon Cities that the municip 10 i light and water companies could hold a membeJship in the League of Oregon Cities . for a nominal fee, and that the Eugene Water Board had been availing themselves : of this opportunity, that previously they had paid a fee of $25.00 but that for . the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1942 a bill for $50.00 had been rendered them i by the League 01' Oregon Cities and they had already paid this bill. Councilman : Hawn stated that Mr. McArthur was not,at all favorable to the Water Board paying i any part of the ~~416.76 bill rendered the City of Eugene. May_or Large stated that ! the City Attorney had been requested to draw a resolution to be presented to the Water Board concerning the payment of part of this membership fee of the City : of Eugene and asked that the Recorder read the resolution at this time. The : resolution was read and Councilman Hawn stated that he thought it was useless to ; pass the resolution as in his opinion the City would not get anywhere with the : V:ater Board. This same opinion was voiced by Councilman Brownson and Councilman Pennington and they stated that they would be glad to hear from other councilmen regarding the resolution. After some discussion by the Council, a motion was made, : seconded, and carried that the resolution be tableci. The following curb cuts were presented: Mrs. ~ells, 670 East 12th; _A. C. Striker, 2112 Hilyard Street; Reese Wingard, 929 and 945 Hilyard St. W. G. Clubb City Engineer, recommended the above cuts be granted. Safeway Stores, 219 West 11 'Broadway made application for a 2G foot curb cut, but Engineer Clubb_ recommended a larger. cU,t.be. made owing to the amount of tr~fficon Broadway. The recommendation 1- of the Clty Englneer were adopted by the Councll. A delegation headed by Ben Dorris had just entered the Council rooms and - Mayor Large asked if any of them wished to address the Council. Mr. Ben Dorris stated that he wished to read a couple of items out of the Oregonian regarding the swimnling pool at Albany and other places. He stated the delegation had come to criticize the Council fOI' not having provided a swimming pool at an earlier date. Mayor Large explained that earlier there had not been sufficient funds collected from the tax levy to construct the swimming pool and tha t now the goverrunent 12 was asking that all projects of ~his kind b~ defer~ed until af~er th~ duration of the war, and Mayor Large also pOlnted out_ tnat nowlt would be lmposslble mo get ~I 3~ -----_._-_._------------------~------~-----~-_._---------~-_._----_._------_._-- --..- ---~-------_._-_.._----- -- ---- - - ---- --- --- -. - - . -"- ____ +__ _4 _. _ _ . _. __ __ ~ _ - __.. .__ ____~~__:._.:.... ...::_ __~_.__.~ ________ _ _ - -:- - + ~ - -- . - - -- . --+ -- _. - -----...- - - ---- ~-- ." -- ------_.__.~- -----.-..,,- - ------- ------.--------------.---- ---------- --- _.._~------- ~- - ----~------------J~---..---- ---- u__ - __~____C_____ - , , -- - --' - ---~---~-- --- ; material for the construction of the swimming pool. Robert fisher was present I and asked if it was not a fact that the Council had objected to the building 1- , of the swimming pool and that they had forced the circulation of petitions in ,; order ~o get the matter on. th~ ballot. Mayor Large explained that.peti~ion~ had ~ I~ been clrculated 1'01' the svnmmlng pool and that they had not been flled In tlme'~ ~ to be put on the ballot as desired and that the Council had gone ahead and i: iniated the ballot proceedings. Councilman Hawn stated at this time that the ~: matter of a swimming pool seemed to be his baby a t the present and that it appeared i that the tax levy of $25,000 would not be sufficient to construct the kind of ;! a swimming pool Eugene should have and that there would probably have to be i: additional money raised. He s ta ed that he thought a definite site should be I; selected and secured and tha t plans and specificat ions should be made to build i: the pool immediately after the war. 'rhere was no action by the Council and the :: delegation left the Council Chambers. Mayor Large explained that an effort was ;! being mc.:de to secure a swimming pool location in the fair grounds and that some ~ progress was being made in these negotiations. ~ ~~ I'; An Ordinance repealing Ordinance No. 1558, entitled, "An Ordinance providing ~ for service in the extinguishing of fires outside of the city limits of Eugene", r was read the first time and passed to its second and third readings by unanimous ~ consent of the council by title under suspension of the rules and was placed 13~ for final passage.

He stated 'j that the cost of hiring the team would probably be about $12.00 and on motion ;: made, seconded, and carried the Park Board was given permission for this work. " ~! A letter from H. D. Walker, Attorney at Law, Cheney, Washington~ was read. i'i This, letter was in regard to the Bone Power Bill now before the Sena te, and Mr. t Walker requested that the Council pass a resolution asking that a hearing be held :: in the Northwest either in tIle sta te of Washington or Oregon regarding this 1_ i: proposed bill.

According to the reading of this Ii agreement, it was not clear to some 01' the Council members as to whether this I 1,1,,: agreement betv,veen the City and the Standard Oil Con~any was giving the Standard ~, Ii: Oil Company exclusive rights on the airport.

Mr. Hefner, manager of the Standard Oil Company was present and sta ted I that he wished to point out that the Standard Oil Company did not have any jlexclusive rights at the airport and was not claiming any; the only thing they were Jclaiming was that they did have permission to install .acilities at the airport.

He said a report had been made !I to the Council regarding the location of the swimming pool in the ]'air Grounds [land at the present time the City had options on some ground adjacent to the Fair 17 0Grounds which could be traded to the County for a location inside of the Fair ii Oro.unds. He said there haa been other locations mentioned and that he was re- I' questine; that Councilman Hawn have 8 report prepared and present it to the Council II at the next meeting, regarding the lac a t ion of the Swimming Pool. I; Councilman 1!'arrington stated, that he had had numerous complaints regarding :ltrucks on the sidewalk at the Pacific J.i'ruit and Produce Company, located at 4th I.:and Charnelton Streets. He stated that the loadinG platform was only 4 or 5 feet ~back from the sidewalk and that the long trucks extended across the sidewalk ~and for a considerable distance in the street, and that the trucks were on the itsidewalk a good share 01' the time. Councilman Bond stated he also had a complaint ~regarding this condition. Councilman Hawn stated that there were other places 18 !;where certain firms were using sidewalks for loading and unloading purposes and 1 '!.".:that he would like to see a report from either the Police or the Engineer on all ;01' these different firms, and he said he thOUGht some action should be taken to ~stop all firms from using the sidewalks. Councilman Koppe said that he did not ;: think it was right for the City to furnish streets and sid ewalks for firms to do !'business on. The I\~ayor said that he would refer the matter to the Street Dept. lito bring in a report and that he wished to mention the names of the NTedo-Land ~Creamery and Swift and Co. as other violators. I' Ii Councilman Stewart said that a complaint last year had been made regarding rthe eves on the building directly east of the Eugene Hotel; t~t there was a leak ~that came out directly over the sidewalk and was always leaking during the rainy 19 11weather.

All Councilmen were preseI,lt with the exception of Hawn and Stewart. , ~t~l Mayor Large stated that there was a delegation present in regard to the juvenile situation and asking them to address the Council. Mr~. Turnipseed stated that she was spokesman for six women's organizations and stated that they had all taken a lively interest in the welfare of the juveniles. She said that they were here to make an appeal and a promise: that they were in favor of the adoption ,of a new and up-to-date ordinance on the juvenile situation and were in favor of the ordinance being strictly enforced after its adoption. She referred to the ordinance now in force in Klamath Falls and one also being used by Salem, and said they both were having very good success. She said it was their recommendation that I juveniles picked up by the Police should be taken to the Police station and that their parents Should be notified to come and get them even if the Police had to go to the parent's house to notify them. She stated that after the third offense that the parents should be fined, starting with a minimum of $5.00 and she also recommended that certain citizens be appointed to bring in juveniles. She said she wished to promise that the organiz~tions she was representing would back up the Police Department in their efforts to enforce the provisions of a new ordinance. She said the organizations were willing to trust the council in their actions I and hoped that the Council would be willing to trust them. Mayor Large asked : Councilman Bond as chairman of the Police Committee if he had any recommend~tions : to make at this time and Mr. Bond stated that he had been out of town and did not 1 ! know that there would be a delegation at the Council meeting and that he had no : suggestions to make just at this time. Mayor Large said that this matter should' . be referred to the Police Commission and City Attorney. Dr. Leeper was present : and stated that he thought a considerable study should be given this suggestion : before anything was done. He believed that there might be considerable trouble I in e~ndeavoring to enforce am ordinance of this kind and he was afraid that this : might be a means of antagonizing the juveniles rather than correcting the situation. ,He stated that the work along this line in other places would be available and : he thought that study should be made of the si tuat-ion and that he was not in : favor of adopting a harsh law and clamping down the lid. Professor Bee was also \ present at the meeting and stated that he was of the same opinion as Dr. Leeper , : and that much study should be given the situation. Mrs. F. L. Bonson, chairman 1 . of the county P.T.A., stated that the League of Women Voters are making a study 'of the juvenile situation and would have a detailed report to make at an early I date of conditions as found in other p~ces. Mrs. Turnipseed stated that they :: realized that there were some children of juvenile age tilat would have to be out ; after juvenile hours but she said these children could be provided with permits. ,She stated that they had done exactly what they started out to do--had aroused ,interest in the situation and trusted that this would be the means of getting a ,much improved situation of the juvenile question. Councilman Bond stated that at Ian early date he would call a meeting of the Police Committee and ask members of 'these organizations to meet with them. . ,1 ! Mr. G. B. Fedde addressed the Council regarding Hamble Avenue. He _sta ted : this was a short street about 400 feet long running off Fair.mount Boulevard. He !stated that as now laid out the street was 50 feet wide, but that it had never ,been improved and there was only about an 8-foot'gravel roadway and that i~ was :a dead-end street and probably never would be extended any farther. He stated ,that there were 11 property owners facing on the street but at present it was' : only accomodating.two families and there would probably never be more than four ror five families using the street. He presented a petition aSking that the width : of the streetb'e reduced from fifty feet as now laid out to twenty-five feet. .' Councilman Barette' stated that he had been out and looked over this situation and :was not in favor of reducing the width of the street. He said that we had 2 ,too many narrow streets at this time and if we reduced the width of this street to twenty-five feet it would not leave any place for sidewalks or the installation of sewers. Mr. Fedde had referred to the fine trees on the sides of the street : and especiallytlJ,e walnut trees. and Councilman Barette stated that_~he did not' . think these trees were of so much value and said, it looked to hi_m'that by reducing : the street, tq . twenty-five' feet it was only giving so much property t.o the abutting :property Qwn~rs and that he was not in favor at this time of the reduction but :would like to see the matter referred to a cOI1lrllittee~and have other members,of . the Council look over the si tuation. Mr. R. A."McCu:J.ley was present and, stated that [he lived on one, side of the street and he would'like to see this reduction ma'de ,in order to save.the trees. Mr. Fedde said that a street 16 feet wide would,be 1- ':all that was necessary for this district and that this would leave a nine-foot 'space for walks if the street :was ::edu?ed to a:twenty-five foot widt.h.".Co':lncilman IBarette stated that it looked to h1m 11ke the property owners, wereallanx10us I to get posse~si.on of this extra property to make -their porperty more attracti,ve :for sale.
