REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
A report of the Public Works Committee re: right-of-way acquisitions for
portion of U. S. Highway 99 from East Broadway to a dual connection with 6th and
7th Avenues East, was submitted and read as follows:
"Your Committee on Public Works to whom was referred the matter of approval
of right-of-way wacquisitions for that portion of the U. S. Highway 99 project
from East Broadway to a dual connection with 6th and 7th Avenues East, begs to
report as follows:
We have examined the report of right-of-way acquisitions a$ submitted by
Mr. W. F. Collins, Right-of-Way Agent for the Oregon State Highway Commission.
We find that the prices offered by the State are based on findings of competent
appraisers in keeping with present Oregon prices and that other costs, par-
ticularly the moving of buildings and structures are based on the best available
estimates. We, therefore, recommend that the report of the right-of-way agent
be approved and that the proper city officers so notify the Oregon State Highway
Commission."
It was moved by Crumbaker, seconded by Johnson that the report of the Public Works
Committee be received and placed on file and that the recommendation contained
therein be. approved. Motion carried.
A report of the Public Safety Committee re: restricted parking zones, etc.,
was submitted and read.
"Your Committee on Public Safety to whom was referred various matters begs to
report as follows:
1. Your committee has ,studied the results of four traffic count surveys
made at the intersection of Charnelton Street with West 19th Avenue. While the
count shows a heavy preponderance of east-west traffic at these two intersections,
it is the committee's belief that the placing of stop signs for south bound traffic
would probably constitute a greater traffic hazard than now exists at these inter-
sections. We, therefore, recommend that the proper city officers be authorized
to install "slow-danger" signs either upon the pavement or upon posts at. the inter-
sections in question.
2. We recommend that Council Bill No. 323 prohibiting indiscrimina.te carrying
of passengers on automobiles, motocycles, and other motor vehicles be amended to
eliminate specific reference to students, and that the Council Bill as so amended
be given second and final readings by the Council.
3. Your Committee recommends that the request of Northwest Christian College
for a truck loading and unloading zone adjoining its commisary on East 12th between
Alder and Kincaid Streets be granted and that the zone be established.
4. Your committee has studied the question of complaints arising from the
operation of Ordinance No. 8670 of the City of Eugene which grants exclusive park-
ing privileges in front of residential entrances. It is the unanimous opinion of
the committee that Ord. No. 8670 is discriminatory and recommends to the Common
Council that it be repealed."
It was moved by Crumbaker, seconded by Johnson that the report of the Public Safety
Committee be received and placed on file and that the recommendations contained
therein be approved. Motion carried.
A report of the Public Safety Committee re: installation of additional stop
signs in the City of Eugene,begs to report as follows:
"In recent months your committee has been repeatedly called upon to study
requests from various sections of the City for installation of additional stop
signs at residential inter~ections. While some of these requests have been granted,
it is the Conwittee's considered opinion that the problem of traffic safety at
these points cannot be solved by any other means than by reducing the over-all
speed of vehicles using the City streets.

Your committee, therefore, wishes to recommend to the Common Council that
by appropriate action it convey to the proper city officials a request that the
25 mill speed limit on all city streets be rigidly enforced by the traffic de-
partment with the cooperation of. the municipal court."

It was-moved by Hanns, seconded by Crumbaker that the report of the PUblic-Safety

was submitted, and read as follows:
"I am pleased to report that work on the Eugene Memorial Swimming Pool has
been re-activated following settlement ,of the local carpenter strike;
Form work on the bath house and equipment building is now underway and the
contractor, Mr. Roy Stien, has advised my office that the work will be carried
forward as rapidly as weather conditions permit. That portion of the building
that will be used for housing of filtration, heating equipment, etc. will be
placed first on the schedule for completion in order that the n,ecessary plumbing
installations can be carried on without delay while the balance of the structure
is being finished. We are also availing ourselves of an opportunity at the
present time to obtain approximately 1,000 yards of top soil which is costing us
only the hauling charge for removing the same, and this will be stock-piled at
the swimming pool site in order that necessary ground improvements can be carried
on.later this spring~
This for your information."

Sections 1, 2 and 3 together with pwnping plant have been completed by the con-

Authorization is therefore requested for the proper city officers to issue a

"I wish to advise that my office has received the final supplemental reports
on Eugene's proposed Sewage Treatment Plant from the consulting engineering firm
of Stockman and Stockman. This final report, recently requested by the Public
Works Committee of the Common Council, and dealing with alternate methods of dis-
posal of digested sewage sludge, completes the engineering report. We now have
on hand in addition to reports complete sets of blue prints, specifications and
contract documents pertaining to the plant. The report, plant design and specifi- '
cations have received the approval of the State Sanitary Authority.
I
If it is a desire of the Common Council to proceed with plans for the con-
struction of the plant, it will be necessary to resolve the following questions:
1. Ways and means of prOViding construction funds over and above the
$200,000 Sewage Disposal fund now on 'hand. On the basis of present engineering
estimates, the amount to be raised, will be approximately:$485,OOO.
2. A determination if, and to what extent the Eugene Fruit Growers Assn. and
the University of Oregon might be requested to assist in the financing of plant
construction based on load factors affecting plant capacity and deSign. This
matter is thoroughly covered in the main report of the .engine,ers.
I
3. An examination into the present sewage disposal rates and determination of ;'
future rate structures that would insure the amortization of a construction bond
issue and to supply necessary funds for plant ,operation.

\ Finance Committees of the Common Council for further consideration and recommen-
dations." .

The following report was submitted by the City Recorder.
"Ae.tion was started on February 24, 1948 by the Eugene Recreation Commission
under the provisions of the Initiative, Referendum and Recall Section of the Charter
to initiate a charter amendment for consideration of the voters which would authoriz
a two mill levy for three years for parks and playgrounds.
The charter section provides in part as follows: "not less than fifteen per
cent of the legal voters of the City of Eugene, computed upon the total number of
votes cast for the office of Mayor at the last preceding gener~l election at which
the Mayor was elected, shall be required to propose any measure by the initiative."
There were 8,372 votes cast for mayor at the general election held November 7, 1944,
the last general election at which a Mayor was elected. Fifteen per cent of this
number is 1,256.
I am submitting with this letter 121 signed petitions proposing the amendment
and a certificate from the County Clerk indicating the signatures thereon have been
checked and that 1277 signatures are genuine. This represents an overage of 21
