He also stated there was a complaint "- Ii about s'ewer seepage on Elk Drive. Engineer Clubb st?ted there should be a 18 r lateral constructed from the m~in swwer up to the houses above Fairmount Blvd. 'I It was explained that the cost of construction of the lateral would be assessed f to the abutting property. Engineer Clubb was requested to prepare an estimated cost of this lateral for the next Council meeting. Counciiliman Hawn reporting for the Police Committee stated that a comm- II ittee of two members from each of the four service clubs, two members from , o the Senior Chamber of Commerce and two members from the Junior Chamber ,of , ,Commerce had been appointed-to see what coul~ be done regarding entertainment 19 i for tae Mexican laborers in the, Eugene area; that the Mexican laborers were r willing to finance the work if suitable ~uarters could be secured. Mayor Large at this time brought up the question of what was to be done I! I' regarding -V-Day when it comes. He stated he oad received a request that some " I' action be taken by the Council. The Chamber of Commerce had stated that the i down-town stores would be closed; dln tij.e afternoon if the information came in the forenoon andi:t1 theinformat~on came in the afternnon then the stores would be closed the fOllowing day. Mayor Large stated that it was his under- standing that the State Liquor Store would be ciliosed, but this would leave 20 Ii the been parlors and liquor stores open. Mr. Lush had stated they would under take to get these places to close but that they would like to have the Council !, take some action. Councilman Hawn suggested that the Council pass a resolut- 1'1 ion asking the Beer parlors to close, Councilman Bailey thought that if any- I; I, thing was to be done an ordinance should be passed compelling the closing of Ii these places. It was pointed out that the plan of the Chamber of Commerce for I: the closing of the stores might be all right, but that it would not be satis " factory for the closing of the Beer parlors~ That the minute the whistles I: blew or the information of -V-Day came that the sale of beer, wime and liquor I I: should be stopped innediately. A motion was made by Hawn and seconded by I, Crumbaker that the following resolution should be adopted by the Council and , that the Chief of Police contact all of the Beer parlors in an endeavor to I! get their signatures that they would stop the sales of beer and wine as out- ~ l: lined in the resolution. On vote this motion was carried. r: Ii . RESOLUTION " VJHEREAS, ~ long and exhausting war is approaching its concluqion , !',i I in Europ3and it is thought that in the immediate future news will I' I: reach us that the carnage has stopped, and I: I:; 'I vVHEREAS, the Common Council of the City of Eugene looks forward 1,1 1\ to V-Day, not so much as a truimph of our arms as a mermiful cess- ': Ii ation of the nation's suffering, and a time of thanksgiving and I. prayer rather than jubiliation. I, p Therefore 'I Ij II BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of Eugene that ii , ,~ request is hereby made that in keeping with the general closing " Ii of all business houses that vendors of alcoholic beverages shall " immediately, upon the signal being given of the cessation of " 1i ) hostilities and until the V-Day observance is over, refrain from tl t and refus~ to sell any alcoholic beverages. It II Be if Further Resolved that the Chief of Police be directed to !. 'I cause this notice to be brought to the attention of all venders I' l,j of alcoholic beyerages and tO,request their cooperation. I!

J. Haskell, 1040 High street was pre- ,~~I sented. This permit had been okay'd by the Chief of Police; the Chief of I the Fire Department and the Lane County Health Department. A motion was ".~ I made, seconded and carried that a license for this place be issued. '::~'i4 The new lease for the Cantonment site of the Airport to F. H. Stickley C? , was read at this time. TRis provided fora cash rental of $600.00 for the t;,'j) 25 ] 0 period beginning September 1st, 1944 and ending August 31st, 1945. A motion was made by Hawn and seconded by Davis that the Mayor and Recorder be instr- ucted to sign this lease on behalf of the City. On vote this motion was carried. Mayor'Large had received from the Civil Aeronautics Administration permission to rent for crop purposes the unused part of the Airport proper. 26 A proposal for rental had been received from A. W. Schneider and a contract between the City and Mr. A. W. Schneider had been prepared by the City Att- orney. The contract was read at this time. The contract provided for one third of-the crop for the Cities part, this to be delivered to the nearest warehouse. A motion was made by Hawn and seconded by Koppe that the Mayor and Recorder be instructed to sign this contract on behalf of the City. On vote the, motion was carried. In April 1942 the City entered into a contract with the United Air Lines regarding the use of the Airport. After the signing of the contract the location of the Administration building was changed so that the description of the property occupied by the United Air Lines as described in the contract does not correspond with the actual location of the Adm~n- istration Building. The United Air Lines had prepared an amendment to the 27 contract which was read at this time. Mr. Clubb, the City Engineer reported that the iocation as described in this amendment was not entirely correct. It was also pointed out that the ground as occupied by the United Air Lines is larger than the tract as described in the original contract, wfuich had been agreed on at the rental of $600.00 per year and it was the recommend~ ation of the Council that the additional rental of ~~ per square foot should be added. A motion was made by Crumbaker and seconded by Farrington that a correct sketch of the exact location of the property occupied by the United, I Air Lines be prepared by the City Engineer and that the proposed amendment be returned to the United Air Lines for correction and a request for addi- tional rent to correspond with increased amount of ground occupied. i The City had received some offers on property bordering on the Amazon. The Recorder reported that the following phrase had been .inserted in a deed 28 for a lot purchased by the Obsidians Incorporated, "THE RIGHT IS HEREBY RESERVED TO WIDEN THE AMAZON DITCH IN ITS PRESENT COURSE~, and asked if this same wording should be used in other deeds where the property was bordering I on the Amazon. There was a question raised as to whether this was sufficient , to protect the City in the proposed improvement of the Amazon and the matter I .1 was referred to tile City Attorney to make an investigation and if in his opinion the City was not sufficiently protected that he should start a suit to correct the deed. The Recorder reported that Councilman Barette on August 29th had 29 turned in a check from 'William F. Goddard for the sale of two "Dressing Rooms" on the bank of the Willamette back of the Butte. The question of whether affirmative arguments should be insetted in i the voters pamphlets f~r the fall election was brought up. A motion was made I by Stewart and seconded by Farrington that an argument not to exceed one page I 30; for each ~f the two measures to be voted on; the Swimming Pool proposal for 1 additional funds and the voting of funds for Park Purposes. That the Park I Committee and the City Attorney were to prepare these arguments. On votet I this mtoion was carried. I I I The Recorder reported that C. A. Horton had filed his completed audit I for the fisval year ending June 30, 1944 earlier in the day. This was referre 311 to the Finance Committee for consideration and to report back at the next I oCouncil meeting as to its acceptance. , I " .Mayor Large reported that the Service Mens shelter in the parking on I the north side of 6th street between Olive and Charnel ton had been wrecked and 32 needed either repairing or hauling away. The matter was referred to'Council- man Barette ~o contact the organization that had furnished the building. Glenn Hasselrooth, reporter for the guard, stated he was leaving for 33 Columbia Uni~versity and that he ~ould be succeeded by Roch Bradshaw to cover City Hall Proceedings. 0 On motion the Council Adjourned. -' ~ tem
