FORT - RE: LOCATION OF SEWAGE OUTFALL LI NE FOR SPRING- FIELD SEWAGE PLANT WAS SUBMITTED AND READ AS fOLQOWS: "As YOU KNOW THE PROBLEM OF THE LOCA.TION OF THE SEWAGE OUTFALL LINE fROM THE I SPRINGFIELD SEWAGE PLANT ACROSS PROPERTY OF THE CITY OF EUGENE REMAINS UNSETTLED. FOLLOWING THE CONSIDERATION OF THE MATTER BY THE OREGON STATE SANITARY AUTHORITY, AND ITS ACT APPROVING THE LOCATION OF THE LINE AT ANY OF THE THREE SUGGESTED LOCATIONS, THE UTiliTY BOARD HAS ONCE AGAIN RE-EXAMINED THE ENTIRE PROBLEM. You WILL RECALL THAT AT THE MEETING OF THE STATE SANITARY AUTHORITY ITS ENGINEERS PRODUCED A STUDY OF BACTERIAL CONTENT OF BOTH THE WI LLAMETTE RIVER AND THE EUGENE MILL RACE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT A COPY OF THAT REPORT WAS DELIVERED TO YOU AT THAT TIME. THE UTILITY BOARD AND ITS CONSULTING ENGINEER FEEL ~HIS REPORT DEMONSTRATES e CLEARLY THAT THE CONCERN OF THE PEOPLE ALONG THE MILL RACE REGARDING POSSIBLE CONTAMI- NATION RESULTING FROM THE PROPOSED LOCATION Of THE OUTfALL LINE BELIEVED BY THE UT I LI TY BOARD TO BE THE BEST, AND MOST ECONOMICAL, IS ENTIRELY UNFOUNDED. SUCH WAS THE OPINION AS WE UNDERSTOOD IT, EXPRESSED BY THE ENGINEERS OF THE STATE SANITARY AUTHORITY. THE UTILITY BOARD FELT IT UNFORTUNATE THAT NONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE MILL RACE ASSOCIATION APPEARED SUFFICIENTLY INTERESTED I N THE PROBLEM TO ATTEND THE MEETING OF THE STATE SANITARY AUTHORITY AND THUS TO LEARN FROM AN INDEPENDENT SOURCE OF THE FACTS. THE LAST THING THAT THE CI TY OF SPRINGFIELD OR THE _SPRINGFIELD UTiliTY BOARD WANTS IS TROUBLE BETWEEN' THE TWO CITIES. AT THE SAME TIME ITS PRIMARY DUTY IS TO AFFORD TO ITS OWN PEOPLE AS COMPETENT AND AS ECONOMICAL AN ADMINISTRATION OF THE PUBLIC AFFIARS ENTRUSTED TO IT AS IS POSSIBLE. IN DEALING WITH PREVIOUS PROBLEMS INVOLVING BASIC POLICY AND PUBLIC RELATION, THE UTILITY BOARD HAS FOUND IT HELPFUL TO HAVE AN INDEPENDENT ADVISORY GROUP, WHICH AT THE BOARD'S REQUEST WAS APPOINTED BY THE SPRING- FIELD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. THUS WE HAVE A.T THE PRESENT TIME AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE Of I FOUR ME MB ER S ON ALL SEWAGE PROBLEMS. e ~
