Newspaper Page TextFuture Growth of Springfield Draws Arguments-at Meeting Bec;se Springfield is growing more rJtidlf than most cornmu nitiesf it faces a future "full of pitfalls H3 promise," StuJrt Walsh, econorrftc consultant, told a group of some 50 residents of 'that city Wednesday night. He urged the city leaSers to foliw "a careful and .canny' plan of future growth, and re asserted his conviction' that the most immediate step to be taken in the arta east of Springfield is surface drainage to 'end the health hazard of standing, . con laminated water. " Walsh appeared at a public . meeting to give a report on his firm's economic survey of an nexation problems in the residen tial fringe area east of the city. ' : Also speaking was Ralph Rod erick, of a Corvallis engineering firm that made a study of sani- tary and -storm sewer needs for the area. , EXPLAINS FINANCING Al Nelson, head of the Spring field Chamber of Commerce's in dustrial committee, explained how industrial members of the chamber financed, the two sur veys to seek a solution to annexa tion problems. The Rev. Joseph Barnett acted as moderator of the meeting. The audience included city eouncilmen and Other city offi Airport Funds Assured, CAA Official Declares Eugene can be assured of enough federal aid funds to "com plete most of the planned im provements at Mahlon Sweet Air port under a bill passed by Con gress Wednesday, according to a Civil Aeronautics official in Seattle! Charles W. Drew, district air port engineer for the CAA, told the Register-Guard Thursday that the 252 million dollar authoriza tion and money bill for projects to be started in the next four years would provide enough for the community 'to really do the job up properly." The only thing lacking to as sure the work is President Eisen hower's signature on the Senate House compromise bill approved by the Senate Wednesday. SEPARATE BILL According to Drew, a separate bill that provides 20 million dol lars of the total for work to be done this fiscal year contains I about $139,000 for work on the Eugene airport. The money would be the fed eral government's share of costs WEATHER Dashes Indjcnle Kaln U.S. WEATHER FORECAST Eugene and vicinity: Mostly sunny through Fri day. Little change in temper ature.

Walsh said he agreed witl the eifjinetring report, vhich indi cated that tke eventual solution to the pntblems of the area east, of the city will call for a new trunk sewer and'sewer lines, es timated t cost about .51.400.000. But,, he said, beyond the prob lems of financing such asystem would be the problem of several years' fela before the system could be. constructed. SURFACE DRAINAGE, However, Walsh said a system for surface drainage could be con structed within a, few months time, a,t.much less cost, to drain off water from the area and make septic tanks function properly. Such a proposal was termed a "gamble" by Milton Buehler, of the Lane" County Health Depart ment. He said there is no assur ance that drainage would be e fective in the dense soil and that it is "almost impossible" to set up a drainage district under ex isting laws. Many communities have solved similar health problems with drainage, Walsh replied. "It's a matter of putting gravity and hydraulic engineering to work, he declared. In reply to a question irgm for four projects here. The' four, sought by the city council and City Manager Robert Finlayson are: Purchase of land for a "clear zone" at the north, end of the main instrument-landing runway, Apron construction adjacent to the new administration nulla ing at the east end of the field. Extension of the north-south instrument-runway. High intensity lighting for the same runway. Drew said these are the proj ects he recommended for approv al when he sent budget requests to Washington. He cautioned that he has not had official word of the projects being left in the bud get. The CAA official also said that other projects requested by the city were omitted trom tne cur rent budget request. These were: complete reconstruction of the north-south runway, acquisition of land for a service area, construc tion of a light-plane tie-down area, and a seal-coat resurfacing for all existing runways. NOT ELIGIBLE . Thn lntter Droiects is not con sidered an item eligible for fed oral aid, he added. Tlrmv intimated that the city will be able to go ahead, however, with nlanning for the omitted projects if the latest bill is signed. The 252 million total would Dermit Eugene to plan and start the projects within tne next lour years. The federal government, after the plans are approved, would then share in tne costs. Prcumably, this cost would be split on a 50-50 basis. That would mean Eugene will have to find about 5139,000 if the airport work is to start this year. Much of this money has already been set aside with funds re ceived from the sale of Airpark lands. VITAL STATISTICS BIRTHS AT SACRED HEART HOSPITAL July l. 1S55 BAKER Mr. and Mra.

'lMPOSSIBjLE'SQLVTiyN Another of JVal.i'sfecommn dations that 32nd and 33rd St. couki be annexed ana ilea into the city's agisting sewer line- was challenged ky Mayor Edward C. Harms Jr. . "Unless I'm corrected bv our -., acny engineer, saia nanus, i in going to state that that solution is not feasible anil is in fact im possible." Acting Citv Engineer Bill Wil liams last'week declared tdat lack of grade ' for sewer line., exten sions, plus the fact that present lines are already overloaded, would njake it impractical to ex tend the lines beyona tne present city limits. Turning t the role of industry the growth of the .area east of the city, Walsh declared that the opposition of Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. to annexation is a position "rather clear'and rather reasonable." EMERGENCY ANSWER. He said the city could find an 'emergency answer" to the. prob lem of financing sewer lines east of the city by bringing in the big timber firm to boost the assessed valuation of the' area. "You'd say there's a fall guy nd we'll let him pick -up the bill-," said Walsh. Such a move would be "shortsighted," he added, and would brand Spring field as a city for industry to avoid.. Mayor Harms cited the problem of attempting to finance public improvements without the as sessed valuation of industry and commercial areas. Residential areas alone, he said, lack the tax- paying ability to carry out large public improvements. If we zone areas so industry I won't have to come into the city,' acirpH Ifarmc "anri havo 3n mm mercial development, where d we go from.there?" WALSH REPLIES Some new industries will be in terested in city services, Walsh replied, and the city's commer cial valuation will increase as Springfield grows. Walsh stressed his belief that planning and zoning should be aimed to make Springfield ' grow to the north, rather than to con tinue it; strip development along the McKenzie Highway to the east. "A city Is a business," declared Walsh, and must be planned for economy of service, (KimiEATriE dDna IEaattlh .
