<br />"During the past several weeks' a successful campaign was conducted in

<br />The Board of Directors o~ the Eugene Chamber of Commerce, mindful of
<br />the energy and though that made this campaign successful, respectfully submits
<br />this statement of appreciavion to those individuals, businessmen and others, whose
<br />work, thought and finance's, made achievement of the park goal possible.
<br />
<br />Particularly, we wish to express appreciated to William M. Tugman, whose
<br />direction of the efforts of the Business and Professional Women, of the Century
<br />of Progress Park group, and the volunteer workers engaged in the campaign, was in
<br />large measure responsible for the success of the project.
<br />
<br />j W~ believe it fitting that notice of this action by the Board of
<br />j Directors of the Eugene Chamber of Commerce be made known to your body."

<br />
<br />It was moved by Davis, seconded by Crumbaker that the communication be received
<br />and placed on file. Motion carried.

<br />A communication from the Eugene Chamber of Commerce re: delegate from
<br />this area be sent to Washington, D.C. on the Amazon Creek Project, was submitted
<br />and read as follows:
<br />
<br />"Following a conference in Eugene last week with Congressman Harris
<br />Ellsworth, the Board of Directors, in formal meeting, acted favorably upon his
<br />suggestion that a delegate from this area appearing beforecthe appropriate
<br />committee of the Appropriations Committee of the House, would be effective in
<br />securing consideration for the Amazon Creek Project.

<br />
<br />Congressman Ellsworth indicated-that he could arrange a scheduled
<br />appearance of a Eugene delegate before the proper committee, and would shortly
<br />advise us of the date of such meeting.
<br />
<br />I
<br />
<br />It is the suggestion of the Board of Directors that Eugene's City
<br />Manager, Deane Seeger, be authorized to make the trip to Washington and present
<br />testimony in support of the Amazon Project. It is further suggested that those
<br />local agencies who will benefit from the improvements of the Amazon Creek drainage,
<br />share the cost of such representation.
<br />
<br />The Eugene Chamber of Commerce will bear its share of such cost and it
<br />is proposed to request the Eugene City Council, the Lane County Court and School
<br />District No.4, Eugene, to participate in the total cost, estimated not to exceed
<br />$600.00, of sending this representative east.
<br />
<br />We trust that the city's gain in the improvements that would follow from
<br />approval of the Amazon Creek appropriations by Congress will justify your favorable
<br />consideration of this plan."
<br />
<br />It was moved by Bailey, seconded by Johnson that the communication be received and
<br />placed on file; that the City Manager be instructed to act as a delegate at the
<br />hearing in Washington, D. C. and that the portion of expense to be borne by the
<br />City be appropriated from Contingency Funds. Motion carried.
<br />
<br />A co~~unication from W. T. Bridges and Francis Waggoner re: rezoning
<br />of block bounded by 7th and 8th and Filmore and Almaden, was submitted and read.

<br />:1 We have been informed that the Telephone Company is interested in
<br />:'1' erect:iJng a building from Seventh Avenue to the alley be.tween Seventh and Eight.
<br />According to the Plans explained to us by Graham Smith, architect, there appears
<br />I' to us to be plenty of space for the building and parking facilities. We have an
<br />I investment in our property of over $26,000.00, and to permit this to be re-zoned
<br />I
<br />1 for business would be objectionable, as we purchased this property for homes after
<br />I a thorough investiga tion of the zoning ordinance at tha t time, and we beg of you
<br />j to deny these r,ealtors request in their petition to re-zone this district."
<br />
<br />It was moved by Bailey, seconded by Allen that the co~~unication be received and
<br />placed on file. Motion carried.
<br />
<br />"For personal gain and without permission from the property owners,
<br />Stenwick and Kok, Realtors of Eugene, Oregon, have filed a petition to re-zone
<br />the block bounded by Seventh and Eighth Avenue West between Filmore and Almaden
<br />Streets ~rom single family resifrence to classification of unspecified business.
<br />The Planning Commission's hearing is set for May 6, 1947. As the only property
<br />owners in this district, we, W. T. Bridges and Francis Waggoner, strenuously
<br />object to the re-zoning of this property.
