Clift advocates the introduction of three principal changes in Oregon law.
(1) Permit joint ownership of a City-County stadium large enough toaccommodate professional
sports with adequate public parking and adequate egress. That is to say, the stadium m u s t be
built where it can be reached by two freeways. Further, that a re-manufacture of an existing fa­
cility will not be satisfactory, nor the use of public funds for the purchase of real estate.
(2) Amendment of the Liquor law to provide that those monies now returned to incorporated
communities be specifically earmarked for sponsorship of a constructive rehabilitation program
for the derelict. He believes such a program will reduce; law enforcement, welfare costs, juve­
nile delinquency, and return the individual which is now a social problem to a useful place in
society.
(3) Amendment of the Motor Vehicle Code to require mandatory state wide motor vehicle in­
spection once a year. The program would be self-financed, acomplished under the supervision of
the Secretary of State, Department of Motor Vehicles. Mandatory re-inspection would be required
after any accident now reportable to that agency. The request for this type of legislation is based
upon the improved highway safety now enjoyed by 18 states that employ the program.
