He pointed out that In any event be fore final selections are made many tests must be made by army experts such as are now un der way at Medford under con struction quartermaster officers. Army officers at the Presidio of San Francisco who have in spected the Eugene vicinity and other areas in all parts of Oregon were called by long distance but said they could not make any com ment on the news from Washing ton and that all decisions and an nouncements must come from Washington. "If the army, sees fit to come into this area we must make them welcome," said Mr. Stlckels. "In these serious times we should not take the position of 'selling' the army but of offering whatever fa cilities we may have on the best possible terms. If what we have is the best for their purposes we should be very glad, but If they find better facilities elsewhere we should not be Jealous. I know that our committee has followed this line and I hope that the entire community will cooperate in this same spirit. This is no time to take advantage of a war which concerns the lives and welfare of American boys." At recent congressional hearings high ranking generals have indi cated that the army is soon to be expanded from its present max imum of 1,500,000 men to 3,000,000 and that at least 28 additional camps will be established. Some will be for ordinary or "triangular division," others for armored or tank troops, and some merely cen ters for troops in transit or special groups such as artillery.

Council Grants Use Of City Hall Room For Toy Library Permission to use a second-floor room in the city hall for a toy library was granted the Eugene Council of Church Women at the city council meeting Monday eve ning. Recommendation was made by the parks committee to which the matter was referred at a pre vious meeting. Right to rescind this grant in the event the room is needed for city purposes was held. Fearing charges of favoritism the council held over for another meeting the request of the Eugene Fruit Growers association for a special garbage haulers license. The company is asking a license at a more reasonable- sum than the $80 per year commercial fee in order to haul burnable wastes to the city dump. The company is already equip ped to handle this refuse which none of the regular garbage haul ers are in a position to do at the present time. Orren Brownsen, chairman of the health committee, recommended that a special li cense of $20 per year be granted the company, but the motion bogged down as questions of the fairness of this act arose. An amendment to the present city ordinance would be required or else a special act of the council. The city will be in no position to grant the request of the hu mane society that funds from dog licenses be turned over to them in return for operating a year round dog control system. Sam Bond, chairman of the police com mittee, reported that this year's budget lists $800 revenue from this source and that no change could be made until the next year's budget is drawn up. The council took a firm stand against exceptions being made to the zoning low. Ordinance grant ing an extension of the light in dustrial district to. the alley be tween Fourth and Fifth avenues west to Jefferson had been ap proved by the planning commis sion but was tabled by the coun cil. A curb cut and widening of the alley at 962 Pearl for the Miner building parking lot was approved. This lot will accommodate 51 cars when completed. Request of Charles B. Briggs for the Booth-Kelly company and Springfield Plywood corporation take the hills with Filter Flying A? IS yQ ' Finer FlyjngA- for a special hourly charge for firo service on the basis of the amount needed was turned down. Mr. Briggs pointed out In his let ter that the 2i mills on basis nt valuation was almost prohibit ive for the two mills especially when they have their own lire nrotectlve systems. The council did not wish to show favoritism to these companies. The council authorized Mayor Large to hire Willard Hambleton as a full time employe In the city recorder's, treasurer, and lien of fices at $100 per month. Mr. Ham bleton has been working in tliese offices for nearly a month. A bill for personal injuries totaling $21.75 was presented to the council by Mrs. Mary Wheeler as a result of a fall on the Side urollr nt Tenth and Pearl streets. This was referred to the judiciary committee and the city attorney. A complaint was read from resi dents on Twentieth avenue east pretecting against the use of the parking strips between University and Onyx for rubbish. This will be investigated by the health com mittee.
