Drainage important <br /> After eight years in Eugene I find <br /> myself still occasionally amazed at the <br /> hidebound conservationism of many <br /> local residents. Who would have sus- <br /> pected that the removal of a mass of <br /> rank vegetation, stagnant sludge, and <br /> festering mosquito nests from the Am- <br /> azon Creek would have generated a <br /> public outcry? <br /> Conservation is a noble ideal,but if <br /> willow roots clog your sewer or hor- <br /> nets nest in your doorjamb you re- <br /> move them. Living on a flood plain at <br /> the start of the rainy season,I for one <br /> appreciate the opening of this import- <br /> ant drainage channel. <br /> HIAWATHA <br /> 490 E.30th Ave. <br /> Eugene /0///5/G• <br />
