additional tax on fire ' insurance
policies, but it was vetoed by the
governor.' j
The fund to be set up by the
present biU would start on Jan
Vary 1, 1943, and would be con
tributed to by firemen and cities
as well as the state.
Cities I with paid fire depart
gnents would be required to come

unteer fire departments could
elect to come under the act.

John Cough lin, Portland, attor
ney for the state medical society,
said the measure would infringe
on the authority of county courts
and take away their power to de

It further was charged by
Coughlin that class A hospitals
would lose their ratings if they
were opened to doctors other than
medical doctors.
Dr. Thomas M. Joyce, . profes
sor of surgery at the University
of Oregon medical school, said
this loss of rating would force the
school to cancel its arrangement
with the Multnomah county hos
