April Gasoline Sales
Show 10 Percent Climb
April gasoline sales in Oregon
totaled 41,407,652 gallons, a 10 per
cent climb over sales of the pre
ceding month, Secretary of State
Earl T. Newbry reported today.
April sales a year ago totaled
40,852,055, according to the secre
tary of state's gasoline tax division
records.
Gross taxes for the month were
$2,484,584 89, a jump of approxi
mately $442,000 over collections for
the same month last year. Most
of the gain is the result of the one
cent per gallon tax increase which
took effect last July 1, Newbry
said.
Auto Accident Increase
During First 4 Months
Oregon automobile accidents
have claimed just over five lives
for each 100 million miles of driv
ing in the first four months of
this year, Secretary of State Earl
T. Newbry reported today.
Newbry said the figure is based
on the average mileage death rate
for the months of January through
April, computed from total traffic
fatalities and motor vehicle mile-
aee as estimated from gasoline
sales for the period. The four
month death rate is 5.1, compared
with 6.3 for the entire year of 1349.
Although total deaths were high
er than those recorded in the first
four months of last year, motor
vehicle travel increased even more
to bring about a reduction in the
mileage death rate.
April travel is estimated at ap
proximately 492 million miles,
highest yet recorded during that
month. Twenty-one persons died In
traffic accidents.
Agriculture Department
Announces Wool Price
The U. S. Department of Agri
culture has announced price sched
ules for buying and selling wool
under the 1950 support program.
As yet, no wool has been pur
chased under the 1950 program
and very little wool purchased by
the Commodity Credit corporation
in the recent past remain in CCC
stocks.
The announced national average
support level is 45.2 cents per
pound, in the grease, which is 90
percent of parity. The Agricultural
act of 1949 requires that wool be
supported at levels between 60 and
90 percent of parity.
In general, shorn wool selling
prices for the higher grades are in
line with recent market prices for
these grades and prices for the
lower grades run about five cents
per pound clean basis over the
purchase prices.
