He stated that they were short on equipment and, would like to take over this trailer, that the City had received from the Office of Civilian Defense. -He stated that they would be able to manthe equipment and see that it was prQperly handled and kept in good oondi tion. . Mayor Large explained that the City was. required to furnish a bond for the return of. this equipment when the government requested it. The Council was willing that this pirce of equipment should be loaned to the Bethel Fire District, the only question being how the fire district should protect the City. A suggestion was made by Councilman Stewart that the Bethel Fire District should have a meeting in which they should agree to accept the loan of this equipmeilb trom the,. City and they should agree to return this equipment to the City in as good a condition as it was loaned eoccept for the usual wear and tear and that the Bethel Fire District should furnish the Cit,y wi th a copy of the minut.es from this meeting. A motion was. made by Stewart and seconded by Hawn that this equipement be loaned to the Bethel Fire District on a yearly basis, subject to a recall by the City at any time that the govern- ment might request the re_turn of the equipment and that the Bethel Fire District should furnish the City a bond that the equipment ,should be kept in first class condition at all ti3es. On vote this motion was carried.

K. Shumaker. The report was that the school board was willing to help'in any way possible to further the recreational program, was willing to allow teachers to cooperate, to provide for the use of the school ,greunds and equipment, but. that the school board refused to accept the financial responsibility of the program either by devoting more of its operating budget to public recreation or by assuming the oollection of any special levy for such purpose. A request was made that ,the City continue to make the yearly three tenths of a mill levy for recreational purposes. Councilman Barette recommended that the City make the levy and turn the money over to the School Board to be distributed by ,them. Councilman Stewart stated that the prople had voted the levy outside of the 6% limitation and that ~e thought the levy should be maintained by the City, Attorney Calkins explained that the money could not ~e turned over to the school board but that the disbursement of the money would have to be done -by the Council. He stated that the activities could be carried on at the direction of the school board but that the disbursement of the money would have to be done by , the Council, He stated the report had requested that a new playground comm- ission should be appointed consisting of one Councilman, one school board member, one member from the Eugene Youth Council, and two members at large and that the Playground Commission should act ih and advisory 'capacity on all the 'I I I :1 I, I !: Ii I.

A motion was made by stewart, and seconded by Barette and carried that the Council accept this report of the C0mmittee., The report had made reference to' a swimming pool and pointed out that the Willamette River had been condemmed, that there was little possibility that the Anchorage Pool would be opened this year, that there was no possibility of the pools at the University of Oregon being used this summer and the prospects were trhat there will be no SWimming in EU@ene this ,year except as people swim in the River at their own risk. It was the recommendation that no pool would' be , contemplated in Eugene unless $73,000.00 could be raised for the project. Ward Wintermiew at this time suggested that the City could prepare the old resevior on Skinners Butte for a swimming pool. ,He stated that he,did not think the cost would be excessive. SheriffO. E. Crowe was present at the Council and stated at this time that he came as a representative of theo Kiawanis and that the Kiawaniswanted the Council to know that they were vitally interested in a recreational program this summer. There was further discussion by the audience regarding a SWimming pool for the City and Mr. , Wintermier stated that he thought the City-would be wise in putting as much as $5,000.00 on the old resevoir on Skinners Butte, to put it in ,shape for the season. I ~ ,Councilman Hawn made a lenthly explanation regarding the investlgatio~ that the Playground Commission had made for a swimming pool. He stated that the $25,000.,00 required for the swimming pool was not ample to c'onstruct thee kind of a pool Eugene should have. He stated that he thought that additional money could be raised by prmvate. subscription but that the war conditions had made it necessary that the progr~ be delayea. . Mayor Large stated that the public seemed to have the impression that the ,Council was delaying the construction of the swimming pool but that this was not a fact. He stated that at one time the $25,000.00 was offered to the school board if they could find a way to construct the sWimming pool and administer ~t. He stated that he did not believe the Council wantedto delay the matter but simply could not construct the pool on account of the war situation. Engineer Clubb explained that the department ,had been working on plans for a pool 60 by 122 feet but that no estimate had been assembled regarding the cost for a pool for that size. A motion was made by Hawn that the,Enginner, as he had time, complete an es,timate of the cots of this pool that they had been working on, and that he should make an estimate on the probable cost of putting the old resevoir in condition for use as a swimming poot this year. This motion was,seconded ,by Crumbaker and carried., lIIfr. Shumaker asked if the Playground Commission as requested .in the report could be appointed at this time so that activities could be started at once. Councilman Crwnbaker stated that Ordinance #6187 provided. for the Playground Commission and he thought there were nothing further that the Council need to do in order that the activities could be carried on. Mayor Large explained that he did notsee the reason of a new Playground Commission but thought the old commission would be able to do the work., - Councilman Barette stated that he had a tree trimming ordinance which -would be presented later in the meeting. He also referred to the article in the Register Guard regarding the condition of the buildings in the Hendricks Parks. He stated that the building was in a very bad condition and tha~3 sides of it had been demolished and that the front had been, started on'. ,He stated that he thought the only solution to this problem was for some of the Park. employees to live at the park., He stated that the park was to be used by the Girl Scouts during the summer and that. Mr. Lamb would make what ever repairs that were necessary for their use when they were ready to move in. Sewer and Police Committee - no report The following departmental reports for the month of March were read and ordered placed on file:.

He is also asking for a waiver of the "set-back" ordinance. As this location is practically four and one-half blocks outside of the apartment zone, :the Board is recommending that the Council refer the request to the Planning Commission." On vote of the Council the recommendation was adopted.
