<br />e THE CITY MANAGER STATED EACH COUNCIL MEMBER HAD BEEN MAILED A COPY OF A REPORT CONCERNING THE
<br /> I
<br /> EXPRESSWAY MEASURE, THAT THERE APPEARED TO BE NO DOUBT THAT LIMITED OR CONTROLLED ACCESS STREETS ARE
<br /> NEEDED IN THE CITY OF EUGENE, AND THAT, AS THE YEARS PROGRESS WITH THE RAPID EXPANSION OF POPULATION
<br /> AND THE CONTINUING USE OF THE AUTOMOBILE, THERE WOULD BE AN INCREASING DEMAND FOR THESE FACILITIES.

<br /> CONSTRUCT LIMITED OR CONTROLLED ACCESS STREETS. HOWEVER, IT WAS HIS RECOMMENDATION AT THIS TIME NOT TO
<br /> PLACE THE MEASURE ON THE NOVEMBER 1962 BALLOT DUE TO THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM, AND ALSO BECAUSE
<br /> THERE ARE TWO OR THREE OTHER CITY MEASURES ON THAT BALLOT AS WELL AS O~E OR TWO COUNTY MEASURES WHICH
<br /> WOULD BE OF GREAT INTEREST TO THE CITIZENS OF THE CITY OF EUGENE. ON DISCUSSION OF THIS ITEM BY THE
<br /> COUNC I L, IT WAS FELT THAT A SPECIAL ELECTION COULD BE HELD SOMETIME AFTER THE FIRST OF THE YEAR 1963
<br /> TO PLACE THIS MEASURE BEFORE THE PEOPLE.

<br /> DE NT S, SUCH AS GLASS, SPILLED OIL, ETC. THE QUESTION WAS 'REFERRED TO THE CHIEF OF POLICE WHO STATED
