A letter from the Oregon Motor Stages requesting a change in the routing
of some of the buses was read by the Recorder. James A. Storer, Supervisor of
the Bus line was present and addressed the Council regarding the proposed
changes of the routing. The changes asked for on the Fairmount and University
Loop buses was to turn north on Oak at 15th and at 11th and come north on Oak
Street to 5th street-turn west on Willamette street and then out on the regular
boute, not going north to the Depot as formerly. On the out-bound trip for
the Uni versi ty Loop they vvere asking to continue east on 13th from Uni versi ty
to Moss and turn south to 15th then take the regular route from there back to
town. This would cut out the turn at 13th and University south to 15th and
also discontinue service on 15th from Univeristy to Mdlss. On the College Crest
bus they were askingto continue south on Willamette to the junction of Lorane
and Friendly avenue and on Friendly avenue to 19th then over to Jefferson,
north on Jefferson to 17th, then east to Willamette and down town from that
point . This would disxmtinue the service on the out-bound trip on 17th from
Willamette to Jefferson, Jefferson to 19th and on 19th from Jefferson to
Willamette - on the in-bound trip it would discontinue the services going south
on Lincoln from 17th to 19th and east on 19th from Lincoln to Willamette. After
some discussion by the Council a motion was made, seconded and carried that this
request for changes in the bus route be granted.

A delegation from the Southern Pacific employees liVere at the Council meeting.
These people were present in support of the proposed Federal Housing project
within the City of Eugene which had been presented to the Council by Paul W.
Campbell for A. M. Gilbert and G. Vi. Miltonberger. A petition from Lodge #766
and #314 from the BIDotherhood of Railraod Trainmen, Order of Railroad conductors,
H.of L.E. #542, Brotherhood of Railway clerks #1262, I.A.M. # 1229, Secretary
Brotherhood of L.E. #476, was read by Chris Jensen, Chairman. The petition
stated that the decision had been arrived at after careful study of the situa-
tion and the petition also stated that there was no doubt about there being an
acute housing situation in Eugene. It also stated that many new employees had
been taken on by the Southern Pacific in Eugene since 1941, that several men
with families that came to work in Eugene for the Southern Pacific were unable
to find a place to live and were compelled to leave on this account. Mr. A.M.
Gilbert through Paul W. Campbell had renewed the offer for 17 lots with a view
of constructing houses under the Federal project as being proposed. The Finance
Committee had inspected these lots this afternoon while looking at other lots
for which the city had purchase offers, and the report of the Finance Committee
regarding the offer of Mr. Campbell for these 17 lots was called for at this
time. The Finance Committee stated that further study of the proposal would be
necessary, they were recommending that plans and specification of the houses to
be erected on each individual lot should be presented to the Committee before
a9tion was taken as to the sale of these lots. Paul W. Campbell was present and
stated that Mr. G. W. Miltonberger had not been able to return to Eugene during
the day on account of an auto accident in which his wife had been injured but
that he had talked to Mr. Miltonberger over the telephone loter in the afternoon
and that he had at this time a list of 12 lots on which Mr. Miltonberger wished
to make an offer to the comnlittee. It was the suggestion of the Finance Committee
that the plans and specifications for houses under the Federal project should be
filed with the Engineer within the next 2 or 3 days and no action be taken by
the Council until the meeting of February 28th - giving interested persons time
to inspect the plans and types of houses proposed for each lot. Paul W. Campbell
stressed the need for iIrilllediate action. Councilman Barette stated that on
October 18th when this proposal v.as first brought up that they had requested
immediate action and that he did not think the Council should be in any hurry
at this time but should proceed slowly and delay the sale of the lots until the
meeting of February 28th. After considerable discussion by the Council and by
different enlployees of the Southern Pacific the question was brought up as to
whether only the lots for Mr. Gilbert which had been inspectffid this afternoon
should be c,onsidered or whether the offer of !vIr. Mil tonberger should also be
considered, and it was decided that" both of these offers should be considered
and the Finance Committee are to inspect the Miltonberger lots before the next
Council meeting. The following motion was made by Farrington and seconded by
Barette:
l)-tha~ the plans for the unit to be constructed on each lot be submitted
previous to any action of the Council:
2)-that plans be in the hands of the City Engineer by Febryary 16th to
allow time for inspection by any interested citizens:
3)-that any, action for the sale of lots be postponed until next regular
meeting of Council February 28th:
4)-that the plans be submitted to the Board of Appeals for action before
next regular,meeting of the Council, and that the Board of Appeals make
their.:report to the, .GounciJ. >by ,Febr.1la:ry. 28th.

The committee of Southern Pacific employees complained that in many
instances exorbitant rent was being charged in Eugene and that they were asking
that the Council adopt a rent control plan similiar to that in effect in Salem
and Bend. Mr. Paul W. Campbell stated it was his understanding that the rent
control in Salem and Bend was by ordinance drawn by the Council and that he has
written them for copies of the ordinance and hoped to have them at an early date.
A suggestion was made by Councilman Hawn that the Southern Pacific employees
file a written request with the City Recorder asking for the rent control program
and that the matter would be considered by the Council at the next meeting.
I
Representatives of the Humane Society were present and Mayor Large asked
if they wished to address the Council at this time. Mr. N.B. Zane explained
the difficulty that the Humane Society had experience since the changing of the
Eog Control program. He stated that the building and grounds now used by the
Humane Society were inade~uate for the present need and that if the Humane Societ
was to continue ~ith this work they would have to have additional funds andasked
that a cowJnittee be appointed to go with the members of the Humane Society and
inspect the'present buildings and equipment. He stated the Society would like
to continue the work but that it was almost impossible under the present set-
up. Mr. Claypool stated that originally this was supposed to be a s~x months
job but that action of the Council to continue keeping the dogs up the full year
had made the situation much more diggicult. He stated that the present quarters
4 were not sanitary and it was not wise to take the better dogs to this place.
That if the activities were to be continued by the Humane Society improvement
would have to be made. Mr. Frank Hill also was present and stressed the need
for additional and better equipment. The Council felt that the Humane Society
had made an honest effort in this work and were fayorable to a continuation of
the work b the society but were unable to advance any extra money during the
fiscal year. Mayor Large said he had numberous complaints regarding the dogs
running at large and Mr. Claypool said he realized that this situation did exist
Mr. Claypool said that the dog catcher had turned in his resignation but that
~they had indused him to continue the work and that he had picked up about 80
dogs in the last month. Councilman Hawn said the Police Committee would be
glad to meet with the Humane Society and see if a plan could be worked out to
continue the work on the present allotment of funds for the remainder of this
fiscal year, the committee to report back at the next Council meeting.

Councilman Farrington stated he had been unable to have a committee
meeting regarding the proposed change in the handling of the Cities insurance and
asked for further time and said he would make a report at the pexr Council meetilg.
Councilman Stewart, reporting for the Fire and Water Corr~ittee stated
the committee had made an investigation regarding the fire protection for the
Bonneville Sub-Station. He said it was the recommendation of the Fire and Water
Committee that a charge of $100.00 per year be made for the protection for the
station. He stated that he hed not been able to contact Mr. Brazil who had
addressed the Council at the previous meeting but it was his understanding that
this fee would be acceptable. A ~otion ~as made by Stewart and peconded by
Davis that a yearly fee of $100.00 be charged for fire protection for the Bonne-
ville sub-station. Councilman Hawn raided the question of what kind of a pre-
cedent the Council would be setting by making this flat fee of $100.00. That
this was different from the resolution passed by the Council covering industrial
plan~s outside the City limits. Mr. Brazil repr~senting the_ Bonneville Admini-
stra~ion had asked only for portection to the outside of the, building and that
the type of equipment in the building made it impossible for water to be used
in case of a fire and stated that the roof was about the only thing that might
be subject to fire. Counpilnilln Crumbaker stated that a 2~ mill levy on the
valuation of that P?rt of the building that would be subject to fire would not
amount to more than $10.00 and that a flat fee of $100.00 should be sufficient
to cpver the risk.. After some further discussion by the Council the question
was ealled for and on vote was carried. Councilman Stewart stated that the Fire
Department needed a half-dozen masks at a price of about $38.00 each and two
new batteries priced at about $25.00 each. He stated that there were enought
fundp in the budget for the purchase of this equipment. .A motion was made by
Mr. Stewart and seconded by Davis that the Fire Coramittee, be allowed to make.
these purchaes and on, vote was carried.
I
Councilman Baker reporting for the Health Department stated that after
the Restaurant Ordinance had been passed by the Council there was no one to
make the inspections of the restarurants and that Dr. Helterline had agreed to
make, the inspections fore the balance of the fiscal year and that he had already
made inspections of 35 out of the 83 restuarants.in Eugene. -He stated the
inspections fees should bring a revenue o~ $1400.00 a year to the City. Mr.
Baker stated there was considerable office work connected with Dr. Helterline's
duties and that if he was to take on this extra work it would be necessary to
have an office assistant. He stated that the comrnittee had a lady in view that
could be gotten for $35.00 a week, that there was $200.00 in the Treasurer's
budget for extra help, and it was agreeable to the Treasurer that this sum might
be used. Mr. Baker said it was a recommendation, that this extra help should ~e
located in the City Hall. A motion was made by Mr. Baker and seconded by
Stewart that the committee be allowed to hire this lady and the salary taken out
of the *300.00 in the Treasurer's budget for extra help. The question was
brought up that if the extra help was to be located in the City Hall was it the
intention that Dr. Helterline should be brought back from the Health Department
in the Court House to the City Hall. Mr. Baker explained that he had not
included this transfer in the motion and that there were arguments for and '.
against Dr. Helterline being located at the Health Department in the Court House.
Councilman Barette stated that as he recalled the reason for Transfering Dr.
Helterline to the Court House was for convenience in handling ~f records. There
was some discussion in the Council regarding the t~nsferring of Dr. Helterline
to the City Hall and an amendment to Mr. Baker's, motion was presented by Council-
man Farrington that Dr. Helterline's office be transferred from the Court Housw
back to the City Hall to take effect at this time. This amendment was seconded
by Stewart and after some discussion by the Council, the question was saIled for
and on vote the amendment was carried. The original motion of Mr. Baker which
called for the hiring of a secretary in Dr. Helterline's office was then called
for and on vote was carried.

Councilman Baker said that he had received a letter complaini~g about the
conditions of the chicken year at the south east corner of 19th and Villard
streets. Mr. Baker stated that mr. Cloyes had been out to the property and he
was asking that Mr. Cloyes address the Council at this time. Mr. Cloyes stated
this party had erected an eight foot fence around a part of the lot and he had
, about 12 chickens at the present time, that he was bringing in garbage and was
22 ~ mixing it with the feed for the chickens, that he was planning on enlarging the
'1';1: enclosure for the chickens and increasing the nwnber of chickens. i'.1r. Cloyes
. st~ted that he felt that this party should be stopped from increasing the size
~ of the chicken pen and should not be allowed to bring in more chickens. In order
, to build an eight foot fence it would be necessary to take out a building permit,
but.that no permit had been secured.' Mr. Cloyes stated he did not have opportun-
ity to see the man who owned the chickens. Mr. Baker said that he was suggesting
that Mr. Cloyes contact this party and that the Health Committee have a report
to make at the next Council meeting.
Councilman Crwnbaker reporting for the Sewer Committee regarding the bill
of Miss Walton in the amount of $64.65. He said the corr.unittee had made an invest-
1 igation and felt that the City was not libble in this case, as the City sewer was
I' not clogged up. Miss Florence D. Ailiden had presented a bill for sewer reRairs
.; on her property at 1282 east 18th street from Vfilliamson and Company for :jp16. 00.
I: Mr. Crwnbaker stated that the City sewer had been clogged up but that the bill
Ii of $16.00 was exorbitant. He said tha.t after investiga tion the committee was
j: rec ommending tha t a refund of $8.00 be made Mis s Alden" A motion wa s made, seconde
Ii and carried that this refund of $8.00 be made to Miss Florence D. -Alden.

offer of $50.00 for one of the buildings on the N.Y.A. grounds back of the butte.
He said he had not taken the matter up with the Committee and Councilman Davis
said that he did not know whether this was a fiar price for the building and the
matter was referred to the Parks Committee to make an investigation and report
back at the next meeting.

cations for the opening of High street was passed by the Council:
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CO~~ON COUNCIL of the City of Eugene, that the
Cormnon Council of the City of Eugene, deems it expedient and necessary

boundaries therof, to make a plat thereof, and make and file a

street and its boundaries, and of the pIDrtions of each lot, parts
of lots and tract of land to be appropriated therefor.
This resolution is based upon the recommendation of the City
Planning COillITlission that siad opening be done.
Councilman Davis reported that the spikes on the planking of the Oregon
Electric Railway west of Blair Boulevard were losse and made a motion that the
Recorder write a letter to Mr. S.A. Sexsmith of the Oregon Electric Railway
requesting that this matter be given immediate attention. This motion was:
seconded by Farrington and on vote was carried.
Councilman Davis also brought up the matter of steam exhaust from laundries
and other places having outside pipe opening turning the exhaust into the alleys.
The ordinance provides that this exhaust should empl~y into a trap and from the
trap into the sewer. The City Engineer was instructed to see that this ordinance
was properly enforded but that a reasonable time should be allowed for making the
adjustments.

t: that the City complete the purchase of the heating plant in the N.Y.A buildings
!' back of the Butte, that had been given to the City. The Mayor explained that the
~ contradt entered into by the City for the purchase of this plant involved about
{ ~4816.00. The Nayor explained that about the next day after he received the
[ii letter from the ,T.:r,~a:su!:Y_~Department asking pay for the equipment he also recieved
28 Ii a letter from the Army Engineers in Portland offering a monthly rental of $25.00
! per month for these two buildings now being occupied by the Army Engineers. The
i Council had aaked for a rental fee of $200.00 per month. The Mayor stated that it

was now up to the Council to decide whether to make the payment for the heating
and lighting equipment in these two buildings and whether to accept the offer
of $25.00 per month for the buildings eJ.ready occupied':by the'.Army~:'Engirteers.
1fuyor Large e~plained that it was not likely that the government would remove
this heating plant as long as the Engineers were occupying the buildings, but
that the Engineers now using the buildings might be moved at any time and in
that case the governmen~ might dispose of the heating plant to some one else.
It was the opinion of the Council that the offer of $25.00 per month for the
leasing of the two buildings was very low but there was not much that the City
could do about it at this time as the Engineers had moved in. A motion was
made by Stewart and seconded by Baker that the Council should complete the
purchase of the plant and that the price be taken out of the ,emregency fund.
On vote the motion was carried. A motion was made by Davis and seconded by
Barette that the City accept the Engiheers offer of a rent payment of $25.00
per month.
