Because of the signing- Friday of a contract approving- the
moving of the Southern Pacific railroad tracks across the
millrace and authorizing engineers to prepare specifications

with work to start soon after
ward.
The moving of the tracks will

the Willamette river, the change
to reach from Eighth avenue to
Judkin’s point.

ette and Pacific highway traffic
will be routed over a new via
duct to be constructed in con
junction with the Judkin’s Point
change.

been ordered on all property in
v o 1 v e d in the right-of-way
change.

The millrace channel is to be
moved about 50 yards further
north, widened, and straightened
to provide better facilities for
future canoe fetes. At a point
