CITY DESERVES
IRE AUTO FEES,
SAYS LAROGHE
City Attorney W. P. La Roche
and City Commissioner Barbur will
' present" before the coming legisla
ture a revision of the distribution
cf automobile license fees whereby
the city of Portland would receive
75 per cent of the fees collected
from owners within the city, limits.
Tliis action was forecasted Wednes
day by the drafting" of a "resolu
tion to be acted upon by the coun
cil next Wednesday. The resolution
has the support of individual mem
bers. '
BITTER FIGHT FOHF.SEEN
It Is expected that this move on Port
land's part will precipitate a bitter leg
islative fight, as under the present law
75 per cent now goes into the state
highway fund- and 25 per cent to- the
counties where the license fees originate.
Should the city be successful, it would
mean, on the .basis of the 1920 licenses,
$500,000 more funds for the city treas
ury to be -spent on extension of munici
pal operations.
Barbur explained that in 1917 when
the present license system was Inaugurat
ed, the. state needed the funds for its
road program, even though . Portland's
automobiles helped pay lor road opera-
tions in remote .sections. Now, he de- '
Clared. the state should devise a more
equitable distribution of the highway '
burden and let the bulk of the jTees re- i
vert to the cities and counties ol or
igtn. XXjIj taxpatehs affected
Kvery taxpayer in Portland will be
affected by the result of the city's
fight. Commissioner Barbur announced
this morning.
"In the near 'future Portland will be
put to an expense of approximately
$500,000 a year for the maintenance of
Its streets streets which are In a large
measure worn out by vehicle's from over
the state," Barbur said. "The taxpay
ers will have to provide the funds either
by another special tax levy or through
the receipts of the automobile tax now
collected by the city and turned over to
the state.
"Certainly, Portland . has . done the
right thing toward-the state's highway
program in donating the entire auto
mobile tax revenue for that purpose
Since 1917, last year alone amounting
to $500,000. The city Is willing to con
tinue donating 25 per cent of its auto
mobile tax to general state road work,
and that means over $150,000 a year.
Surely, we are entitled to the remainder
of our own revenues,; and with the
proper support- of taxpayers and Mult
nomah county's delegation' in the. leg
islature I have no doubt of that body
voting to return to Portland in the
future its much-needed funds. After
all, it will be spent to the advantage
of all Oregon, as the streets of Port
land are daily used .by autoists from
every section of the state."
DATA BEING GATHERED
City Attorney La Roclie is preparing
to devote all necessary time to the
legal phases of the city's case to be
missioned Barbur's department Is gath
ering data to how the urgent need for
Portland's automobile taxes on Port-
land's streets.;
- The formal resolution authorizing
Commissioner Barbur and City Attor
" ney La Roche tt represent the city be
fore the legislature in securing neces
sary legislation -to enable the city to
retain more than $500,000 a year of
its automobile taxes in the future will
probably be passed at the last session
of the council held during the closing
year. The Taxpayers' league will co
operate with the city officials. Com
missioner Barbur announced.
