<br />or THE MILL RACE. THE PROPOS~L IS TO ABAN~ON THE HEAD WORKS AND THE DAM WHICH DIVERTS
<br />WATER INTO THE' RACE, AS IT NOW EXISTS, WHICH WOULD ALLOW THE RiveR TO BE RE-CHANNELLED
<br />I NITS .NORMAL STREAM BED, THUS EL I MI N~T1 NG THE, BANK W\SHI NG .WHERE THE R.t VER HAS CUT THROUGH
<br />AT THE ,NORTH END OF THE DAM AND IS CREAT! NG A CHANNEL IN CI TY OWNED PROPERTY. No

<br />VARIOUS ENGINEERING REPORTS INDICATE THE MOST FEASIBLE METHOD OF SUPPLYING WATER TO THE
<br />MI LL RACE WOULD BE By""PUMPI NG AND IT "S PLANNED TO PROVI DE ABOUT TWI CE THE STREAM FLOW
<br />. ROW ~ F,OUND I NTHE, MI LL RACE BY PUMPI NG. THE TOTAL COST OF THE ~UMP,S AND I MPROVEMEI!ITS. TO
<br />'THE MILL RACE ,WOULD RUN'APPROX....ATELY, $40,000.00. THE STUDE.NTS OF THE UNIVERSIT,Y or

<br />FROM A BOND ISSUE CURRENTLY AUTHORIZED BY THE CITY"OF EUGENE. THE MAINTEN.ANCE COST,WOULD

<br />. PO, NTED OUT THAT THE COMMI TTEE, I N THE .PROCESS OF THE I R DELI B.ERATI ONS, HAD CONSI DERED
<br />GETTING WATER AT MCVEY POINT, WHICH IS UP STREAM FROM. THE CURRENT HEAD WORKS OF THE
