    Hope Is Seen
For Millrace
By Anne Ritchey
Emerald Assistant Managing Editor
“What is desirable for Eu
gene’s Millrace,’’ was the topic
of a special committee meeting
of the Eugene City council Oct.
5.
The Millrace committee, com
posed of council members and
interested Eugene citizens, rec
ommended that the outlet gate at
Broadway and Franklin Blvd. be
enlarged to raise the water level
of the ’Race.
Jim Light, chairman of the
ASUO senate’s Millrace com
mittee, said that the project
would not only insure a constant j
flow in the stream, but would
also serve as an extra safeguard
against floods.
Little More Than Lake
“At its present flow.” Light
said, “the Millrace is little more
than a lake." Raising the level
would give students a chance to
“see what the 'Race would be
like as a type of lake.”
Final approval of the project
must come from a future meet
ing of the committee, for which
no definite time has been set as
yet.
Other subcommittees of the
council currently doing research
on the problem include: study of
possible connection of the Mill
race and Amazon slough; possi
bilities of abandoning the TFtace,’
alternative sources of water, and
the present situation of the his
toric stream.
When all of these groups have
met and made recommendations,
the council will determine the
fate of the Millrace.
May Be Some Hope
“There may be some hope, de
spite the dark picture presented
last year,” Light said. Light add
ed that all aspects of the prob
lem will be considered before
any action is taken.
The current investigation was
started when Mayor V. E. John
son appointed the subcommit
tees last year. Light expressed
the opinion that townspeople as
well as University students are
anxious to have something done
about the Millrace.
As a recreational and scenic
area for the city, the Millrace
could provide. parks, fishing,
swimming, and canoeing facili
ties.
Public Access Impossible
Public access to the stream is
impossible now, Light said. Ac
cess can come only through rais
ing the water level and con
struction of a permanent dam.
Maybe the days of canoe fetes
and other University activities
centered around the Millrace are
a thing of the future as well as
of the past.
Nothing definite has been ac
complished, but the framework
for action has been constructed.
