Says Optical'
Senior Council Member Verne
Hawn contended the area is
logically light industrial, and
should be rezoned as such. Coun
cilmen Ed Johnson and Harold
Wells said they thought the plan'
ning commission should be backed
in its recommendation for denial
The company wants to erect a
steel corrugated building to house
construction equipment. Council-
men promised to investigate the
area in relation to Its suitability
for light Industrial firms prior to
the June council meeting.
Poll Accepted
ProDosed Harris St. improve
ment! were cancelled after a poll
showed residents two to one
against letting bids at this time.
The Improvements would have
cost property owners $7.27 per
front foot.
The council voted a maximum
of $800 from the emergency fund
to send City Manager Deane
Seeger to Washington, D. C. with
in the next few days in support
of an appropriation for the Ama
zon drainage project.
Inftm Appointed
Ward Ingham, Eugene lumber
man, was appointed to the
planning commission, to replace
Harry Aldrich, who is moving to
Portland.
A petition requesting annexa
tion of the Plat of Inavale and
City Outlook Addition, and a sec
ond petition protesting the annex
ation, were sent back to the sign
ers. Thirty-nine persona signed the
original request, while 32 persons
signed the protesting petition.
Coundlmen asked the property
owners to come to some agree
ment as to what portions of that
district they want annexed, since
an election would cost the city
about $500.

number of large mills report that
after they have paid for falling,
bucking, trucking and milling a
log it is good business to utilize
every scrap possible to get their
costs out of it, to meet competi
tion, to provide more Jobs, to
make a profit and to conserve the
vital raw material.
The very small mills cannot af
ford to do this unless they can
obtain enough timber to justify
the necessary investment.
Better Use
This latter situation has been
pointed out by Otto Krueger of
the O and C administration here.
Both the O and C and the U.S.
Forest Service, as well as the var
ious lumber associations, are pro
moting better utilization of timber
as a vital necessity to assure a
future supply of timber on which
this area depends largely for its
prosperity.
Krueger doubts if price is caus
ing peckerwood shutdowns as
much as difficulty in obtaining
timber. Larger outfits, with lands
intermingled with O and C lands,
have roads, often partly on their
own land, or can afford to build
them so they can log O and C
timber, because they are assured
of supply to justify the expense,
but this is seldom If ever true for
the very small operator
George Owen, president of the
Western Assn. of Loggers and
Lumbermen, who is Just complet
ing a new mill here, believes the
small mill could continue to op
erate even at $30 a thousand if it
were operated efficiently with
an output of at least 2500 feet per
man per day. But he, too, pointed
to the difficulty of obtaining tim
ber. And he believes the fact that
the peckerwoods have no facili
ties to go out after orders is a
prime factor in their present dif
ficulty. Shearer, who is waiting for a
"break," hopes, to start his Ve
neta mill again, but in the main
he has things figured out much as
outlined above. He can't afford s
planer and he has no means of
going out after the business, he
says, but he thinks it a group of
the small mills went together they
might finance necessary equip
ment and do something of this
sort
