<br /> ;: "THIS LETTER
<br /> I' IS INTENDED.AS A BRIEF PROGRESS REPORT OF THE MILLRACE COMMITTEE.
<br /> ill
<br /> ~ : .
<br /> I THIS COMMITTEE MET FIRST ON JULY 13, 1954 AND ORGANIZED. ROBERT H. LEMON WAS
<br /> , ELECTED AS CHAIRMAN,AND MR. ROBERT A. FINLAYSON, CITy'MANAGER, WAS ELECTED SECRETARY.
<br /> II
<br /> I
<br /> " ON FRIDAY, JULY 16, THE COMMITTEE INSPECTED THE MILLRACE, SPENDING SEVERAL HOURS I
<br /> I,
<br /> I INTAKE'AND UPPER PORTION AND EXAMINING THE ENTIRE COURSE OF THE STREAM.
<br /> " AT THE
<br /> SUB-COMMITTEES WERE APPOINTED TO STUDY CERTAIN PHASES OF THE PROBLEM,AS FOLLOWS:
<br />e I . WHAT IS DESIRABLE IN EUGENE'S MILLRACE?
<br /> 2. POSSIBLE CONNECTION OF THE MILLRACE AND AMAZON. .
<br /> 3. PROBLEMS OF ABANDONING THE MILLRACE.
<br /> 4. ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF WATER FOR,THE MILLRACE.
<br /> 5. PRESENT FUNCTIONING OF THE MILLRACE.
<br /> ALL OF THESE'COMMITTEES ARE FUNCTfONING AND THE GENERAL COM~ITTEE HAS RECEIVED A
<br />I REPORT FROM THE COMMITTEE ON 'WHAT 15 DESIRABLE I N EUGENE'S 'MI LLRACE?" IT WAS CONCLUDED
<br /> THAT THE MILLRACE IS A RECREATIONAL FACILITY AND IF CONTINUED OR DEVELOPED MUST BE
<br /> JUSTIFIED PRIMARILY ON THIS BASIS. THE COMMITTEE HAS BEEN SUPPLIED WITH CONSIDERABLE
<br /> DATA BY THE CITY ENGINEER. AMONG THE LESSER-KNOWN FACTS IS THAT WHEN WATER WAS RESTORED
<br /> TO THE STREAM IN 1949, BOTH THE INLET STRUCTURE AND THE OUTLET STRUCTURE AT BROADWAY
<br /> WERE SO DESIGNED THAT THE SURF'ACE OF'THE WATER COULD NOT REACH THE ELEVATION MAINTAINED
<br /> IN THE STREAM WHEN IT WAS ACTIVELY USED F'OR THE PRODUCTION OF' POWER. THE COMMITTEE VOTED
<br /> TO ASK THE C.ITY COUNCIL TO RECONSTRUCT THE OUTLET STRUCTURE SO THAT AT LEAST IN TIMES OF'
<br /> PLENTIFUL WATER AT THE INLET THE STREAM COULD BE RAISED TO ITS ONE-TIME LEVEL.
<br /> I THE 'NEXT MEETING'OF THE GENERAL COMMITTEE IS ON TUESDAY, Oc TOBE.R 26, AT WHICH TIME
<br /> I,
<br /> ,. REPORTS WILL BE HEARD FROM THE SUB-COMMITTEE ON "PROBLEMS OF ABANDONING THE MILLRACE" AND
<br />. THE SUB-COMMITTEE ON "PRESENT FUNCTIONING OF THE MILLRACE." IT IS RECOGNIZED THAT STORM
<br /> SEWERS EMPTY INTO THE MILLRACE AND RUMORS PERSIST THAT SOME SANITARY SEWERS ALSO EMPTY
<br /> I,
<br /> ,. THEREIN. THE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON USES ~ATER'F'ROM THE MILLRACE IN CONNECTION WITH ITS
<br /> HEATING SYSTEM. IF' THE STREAM IS ABANDONED, THE COST OF' PERFORMING THESE AND OTHER
<br /> FUNCTIONS MUST BE CONSIDERED.
<br /> THE SECOND SUB-COMMITTEE SCHEDULED TO REPORT ON OCTOBER 26TH HAS EXAMINED CRITICALLY
<br /> THE PRESENT OPERATION OF' THE STREAM TO DETERMINE IF THE BEST HAS BEEN 'ACCOMPLISHED WITH
<br /> EXISTING FACILITIES. CRITICISM HAS BEEN VOICED OF THE METHOD OF HANDLING THE PROBLEM
<br /> CREATED WHEN THE RIVER WASHED AROUND THE NORTH END OF THE DAM.
<br /> OTHER COMMITTEES HAVE MADE A FIELD TRIP FROM THE HEAD OF THE MILLRACE'TO MCVEY POINT,
<br />I EXAMINING THE POSSIBILITY OF OBTAINING WATER THERE RATHER THAN REPAIRING THE PRESENT DAM.
<br /> CORRESPONDENCE HAS BEEN CARRIED ON WITH THE UNITED STATES BOARD OF RECLAMATION
<br /> REGARDING IRRIGATION IN THE LOWER AMAZON AREA, THE WATER FOR WHICH MIGHT BE OBTAINED FROM
<br /> ,:
<br /> ': THE MILLRACE. THE RECREATIONAL POSSIBILITIES INHERENT IN MAKING THE AMAZON A FLOWING
<br /> i ~ STREAM ARE BEING I NVESTI GATED.
