THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 124 ACRES IN THIS PROPERTY, ALL BEING IN SECTIONS 32 AND 33, TOWNSHIP 17 SOUT~, RANGE 4 WEST. THE NORTH-SOUTH RUNWAY IS 2300 FEET LONG AND THE EAST-WEST RUNWAY IS 1800 FEET LONG, EACH BEING APPROXIMATELY 300 FEET WIDE. THESE RUNWAYS ARE IN FAIR CONDITION, AND THEY DO HAVE A VERY HEAVY AND SOLID FOUNDATION. THERE IS ONE AIRPORT HANGER 60 BY 60 FEET, WHICH IS AN ALL ME TAL BUILDING WITH CONCRETE FLOOR AND TIMBER STRUCTURE TRUSSES FOR THE ROOF. THERE IS ALSO A THREE-ROOM OFFICE BUILDING APPROXIMATELY 25 BY 40 FEET COMPLETE WITH PLUMBING. THERE IS ONE SMALL HANGER ON THE PROPERTY THAT IS PRIVATELY OWNED AND WILL BE MOVED IN CASE OF SALE OF THE PROPERTY. . I TI S THE OPINION OF THE WRITER THA T THIS PROPERTY WILL SOON BE SOLD FOR INDUSTRIAL PURPOSES IF NOT PURCHASED BY THE CITY OF EUGENE FOR A FUTURE A I R POR T . IT IS ALSO THE OPINION OF THE WRITER THAT IN THE NEAR FUTURE THE EUGENE AIR PARK WI LL HAVE TO BE ABANDONED BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBLE DANGER TO THE HOMES THAT ARE NOW ENCROAc'HING UPON THE BOUNDARIES OF THE EUGENE AIR PARK. ALSO, 18TH STREE T, POLK STREET, AND 24TH AVENUE SHOULD SOON BE EXTENDED AND THESE STREETS WILL CUT RIGHT THROUGH THE EUGENE AIRPORT. ALSO, THE VALUE OF THE AIR PARK TO THE CITY OF EUGENE IS FAR GREATER FOR SUBDIVISION PURPOSES AND THE SALE OF LOTS, THAN IT IS FOR AN AIRPORT. THEREFORE, IT I S MY OPINION THAT THE AIR PARK COMMITTEE AND CITY COUNCIL GIVE THE PURCHASE OF THE WI LLAMETTE AIR PARK A GREAT DEAL OF CONSIDERATION BEFORE PASSING UP THIS OPPORTUNITY I TO BUY I TAT THIS TIME. ~
