Mike Farthing, 1495 West 24th Place, said he was an attorney repre- senting one of the owners selling the property. He indicated he felt this rezoning would make an opportune area for residential and mixed industrial use land for the city of Eugene. .. Mr. Robert Bennett, 8534 South Wi1lamette, said that it would be presumptuous for him to speak for Data General and their decision to choose a location.
