'-' . -P - '!:' -: -:-:vp-' ' 'j- p - pp " Creation of Ports of Entry Authorized for Loads Above State Statutory : Limits; Vote was 16 to 12 p p " ; Regulation of log 'hauling rate by the state utilities commis sioner and the creation! of ports of entry near the state border, into which truck-trailer units in excess of Oregon's statutory limits on size and weight might be brought, were approved in the senate Wednesday. Sen.! Douglas McKay (R-Mar- lon) championed both measures. With respect to the log hauling rates bill which originated In the house, ; he pointed f out that all other truckers are ' regulated by the utilities commissioner and said there was need for such reg ulation to insure log haulers an adequate income..He asserted that timber owners, sought to j hold down these rates and "naturally' opposed the measure. . 1 Sen Frank Franciscovich (R Clatsop) objected that the legis lation would increase log trans portation costs and was unwork able because log hauls were In definite and were changed fre quently as new stands of timber were harvested. Approves If to It .Seni. W. E. Burke R-Yamhill) and C; H. Zurcher (R-Wallowa) spoke in favor of th bill, which was approved by a 16-12 vote. ; The j "ports of entry" bill was one of those which the senate rules committee sought recently to refuse consideration on the ground that its content had once been rejected by the senate. Sen. McKay explained' that It would . permit; truck loads which are le gal in neighboring states to be brought a short distance into Ore gon without unloading at the bor der. f Approval also was--given a bill by Sen. Coe McKr nwa (R Malt.) waiving penalty and In-" teres on delinquent " property taxes; for the year 1939 and prior! years, provided! the cur rent taxes are paid In fall. This; measure previously was reported to the senate with a "do not pass" recommendation by the assessment and taxation commit tee. The adverse report was re- Jected. j Sen. McKenna declared its pass age wpuld prevent many persons from losing their property through foreclosure. Motion Is Defeated A motion by Sen. W. H. Stei wer (R-Wheeler) that the meas ure be re-referred to committee for the purpose of restricting its operation to Multnomah county was defeated. Steiwer said de mands; for the legislation came from iMultnomah county while protests originated in other parts of the state. The senate approved, 24 to 5, a bill by Sen. Dorothy Lee (R Mult) and others, providing for Investigation . of voters'; registra tions in Multnomah county and authorizing cancellation of those not properly verified. M Sen. Leo explained that this measure would become Laoper atire joa January 1 1942, when another bill previously passed by the legislature - would be Mitt effective. Canvassers would be employed to eoadact . Ue InvestlgatSoiis. Lr - - i"Th4 passage of this measure would Jgo far toward halting illegal- voting in Multnomah county," Sen. Lee continued. P.
