Stephens Ph. 3-6002 Reduced Fines On Log Truckers Hit By Unander SALEM ( A state official proposed Monday to stop justices of the peace from reducing fines against log truck operators who overload their trucks. State Treasurer Sig Unander estimated the state had lost several hundred thousand dollars since Jan. 1 because the justices of the peace were remitting portions of the fines. Unander asked Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton in a letter to take legal action to stop the practice. The request followed an opinion by the attorney general last month stating that the practice was Ulegal. Unander suggested a mandamus proceeding be instituted to compel the courts to impose and collect penalties upon conviction and prevent the justices of peace from improper reduction of fines in the future. If courts uphold the state's con tention that fines for overloads i cannot be remitted, Unander plans I to request the attorney general to lake legal steps to recover money lost to the state, either from the ! justices or their bondsmen, i Unander said it appeared the I remitting practice was most prevalent in Lane County, though practiced quite generally through out the state. ! Experts disagree as to why crickets sing, explanations varying from mating call to battle cry or just self expression.
