Trailer Law
To Be E n fo rced
Many trailer and property
owners tn Curry county are
parvntly unaware of Oregon
laws pertaining to the parking
of trailers an private property,
and are allowing trailers to be
parked In violation of the law,
according to Curry County sani
tarian Jack Wngta
Parcels a t land occupied by
two or more trailers may come
under the regulationa governing
the establishment ami operation
of trailer jsirks, and therefore
would be subject to hceming
as prescribed in the statute.
A stepped-up program of en
forcement is underway and own
ers of trailers are requested to
cooperate by removing those
trailera known to be in violation
This will ant greatly in the
reduction of unsanitary condl
tiona which often prevail tn
areas permitting promisrtous
trailer parking
Thobe in <i«44. or in need of
additional information. are urg
