<br />"THE BUREAU OF PARKS AND RECREATION HAS INVESTIGATED THE BIOS RECEIVED ON
<br />PLASTIC PIPE FOR THE LIBRARY IRRIGATION SYSTEM AS REQUESTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL.
<br />
<br />THE BASIC QUESTION RAISED IN~REGARD TO THESE BIOS WAS - Is KRALASTIC
<br />PLASTIC PIPE EQUAL TO POLYVINYL CHLORIDE PIPE? IN ORDER TO ANSWER THIS QUES-
<br />TION AND OBTAIN INFORMATION WHICH WOULD SUBSTANTIATE IT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER,
<br />WE CONTACTED SEVERAL FIRMS: TILLMAN AND BOOTH COMPANY, EUGENE WATER AND
<br />ELECTRIC BOARD, CONSOLIDATED SUPPLY COMPANY, RAMSEy-WAITE COMPANY, UNITED
<br />PI PE COMPANY, PORTeO CORP., VANCOUVER., WASHI NGTON (MANUFACTURERS OF, EACH
<br />TYPE PLASTIC PIPE IN QUESTION) AND CORNELL, HOWLAND, HAYES & MERRYFIELD,
<br />CONSULTING ENGINEERS. IN ADDITION THE RAMSEy-WAITE COMPANY REQUESTED
<br />DONALD A. HOGAN Of NATIONAL IRRIGATION CONSULTANTS, SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, TO
<br />SEND TO THE PARKS DEPARTMENT A STATEMENT ON THIS QUESTION. EACH Of THESE
<br />fiRMS FURNISHED VARIOUS INfORMATION AND OPINIONS. THE RESULTS FRANKLY,
<br />UNFORTUNATELY, 010 NOT SHOW ANY CONCLUSIVE' EVIDENCE. MOST OF THE INFORMA-
<br />T I ON OR 0 PI N IONS RECE I VED TEND TO I NO I C,ATE THAT KRALAST I C WAS NOT EQUAL TO
<br />POLYVINYL--CHLORIDE PIPE. HOWEVER, THE.EVIDENCE WAS NOT UNANIMOUS OR CON-
<br />CLUSIVE.
