I MIGHT ALSO SAY THAT I AM SOMEWHAT EMBARRASSED FOR THE REASON THAT WE WERE GI VEN EVERY ASSURANCE BY THEM, AND PASSED THIS ON TO YOU, THAT -WE WOULD HAVE THEIR ANSWER BY MAY 15. IN EXPLANATION OF THIS, I WISH TO SAY THAT WE FORWARDED OUR SUBMISSION OF THREE SITES I N EUGENE, ONE OF THEM INVOLVING THE LIBRARY SITE AND THE POSSIBILITY OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH SITE, UNDER DATE OF APRIL 28. OUR PRINCIPAL, UPON RECEIPT OF OUR SUBMISSION REPORT TOGETHER WITH MAPS, DISPATCHED TWO OF THEIR EXECUTIVES TO EUGENE FOR PURPOSES OF MAKING THEIR OWN PERSONAL STUDY. FROM COR- RESPONDENCE WE HAVE RECEIVED SI~tE WBA~tDATE~crT IS APPARENT THAT THEY ARE STILL VERY I VITALLY INTERESTED I N EUGENE AS A SI TE FOR A STORE, BUT SIMPLY HAVE NOT COME TO A FIRM CONCLUSION ON THE SITE. I N A, RECENT CLIPPING I RECEIVED OF: THE EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, THE STORY WAS CARRIED THAT YOU WERE PLANNING SOME RENOVATING OF THE CITY HALL, WHICH WOULD INDICATE THAT THE PROPOSED SALE OF THE CITY HALL HAD NOT MATERIALIZED. As YOU KNOW, AFTER 'CON- FERENCES WITH YOU AND YOUR COUNCIL, WE DECIDED NOT TO SUBMI T THE CITY HALL SITE. I DID, HOWEVER, TENTATIVELY PLACE THE LIBRARY SITE AS A POSSIBILITY, SUBJEC T, OF COURSE, TO THE I COUNCIL BEING ABLE TO FREE IT FOR SALE. I AM STILL VERY ENCOURAGED, OR EN, THAT THIS il DEAL WILL PROCEED, BUT IT WILL UNDOUBTEDLY TAKE SOME TIME YET FOR THEM TO MAKE UP THEIR I MIND. IN THE MEANTIME, I HOPE THAT YOU AND THE COUNCIL ARE NOT DISCOURAGED WITH THE SLOWNESS OF THIS DEVELOPMENT AND THAT YOU ARE STILL OF A MIND TO GIVE CONSIDERATION TO THE LIQUIDATION OF THE LIBRARY SITE. I EXPECT TO BE IN EUGENE WITHIN THE NEXT TWO . I WEEKS AND WILL LOOK YOU UP AT THAT TIME.
