Homeowners to pay less for improvements University owners of older homes will pay less for improve ments in their neighborhood caused by new housing, due to approval of a systems develop ments charge by the Neighbor hood Leaders Group. Although the Eugene City Council will decide whether the new systems charge will be put in effect or not, the Neighborhood Leaders decided to send a letter approving the new charge to the council.
