RECORD ENROLLMENT REGISTERS AT
SCHOOL OPENS, TUESDAY MORNING
Tuesday morning. School District No. 17 found ditself “right
back where it started’’ about three years ago— more pupils than
rooms to hold them, when the grade school experienced a 69 in
crease in registration over the first day last year. More are ex

Overloads Cost
Truckers PUCs
PORT ORFORD—Considerable
furore was raised among logging
operators and mills in this area
when many violators of log haul
load limits were ordered by the
state highway commission, to
surrender their PUC licences
last w’eek.
It is said to be the beginning
of a state-wide clamp-down on
over-weight loads by log truck
ers. Not since 1938 has such
drastic measures been taken.
No definite date for surrender
of plates was specified but most
in this area were suspended for
10 days from the date turned in.
Many
operators
relinquished
their PUC’s to State Police by
.Thursday and Friday of last
^eek. This put more than 35
Boucks out of opeartion, affecting
about 15 logging operators and
the timber supply of many mills
in both Coos and Curry counties.
Some mills have already shut
down for lack of logs and it is
said that several may be in short
supply by winter because of no
hauling at the peak of the sea
son.
The Bandon weighing station
has been opearting from day
light to dark every day recently.
Before the suspension was or
dered the weigh-master requir
ed that longs in excess of weight
or height limits be dumped at
the station which has resulted
in quite a pile of logs by the
wayside.
According to loggers, it is too
costly to salvage these.
August 25, after the state high-
way commission made its ruling,
a representative group of truck
ers and mill ow’ners met w’ith
Commission Chairman, Ben Chan
dler, in Coos Bay, to discuss the
situation. In the opinion of sev
eral of them laws for load lim
its based on scale instead of
weight would be more satisfac
tory and easier to judge when
loading trucks. It is known that
a truck has to carry right up
to the load limit in order to
pay. Chandler, while in
terested in the views expressed,
made it plain that the highway
commission’s duty is to enforce
the Inv’q

PISTOL RIVER FIRE THREATENS TO
DESTROY MILL AND HALL, SUNDAY
PISTOL RIVER From the burning of slabs at the sawmill,
south of the bridge, Sunday afternoon, started what was considered
for a time to be one of the worst fires of the county’s history. A
strong north wind, coming up quite suddenly, whipped the flames
and spread the sparks over quite an area of dry grass and pine
and spruce needles. Fire patrol men and equipment were rushed
to the scene in an attempt to stop the blaze before it reached
any mercantable timber. Fortunately, the mill and the newly-
| constructed community hall were untouched, although threatened.
