( (See. 1) Matcnian, Julcm, Oi, I'll, Mar. it, '.'ft Candidates to Feel Financial Effects Of Billboard Law By PAI L W. IIARVFY JR. AiMxiitrd Pre Writer Candidate for Ute, cnuiilv and city cffires will jot a iinulj Jolt when they find out t)iut Ore non'i new billboard law applies to thrm. It could rot a candidate is tnurh a SM for putting a cam paign placard on a telephone polr or a barn without setting written pcrmlMKn from the property owner, or without getting a slate license. State Labor Commissioner Nor man 0. Nilsen, who administer the new tow regulating outdoor advertising, haa ruled that politi cal signs come under the law. j Thu meant that a fee of SO renta to $3 will have to be paid for every sign visible from a road outside of an Incorporated city. The feci will have to be paid by the candidate cvr hit campaign committee. Tine Possible Nilsen 'i men are supposed to charge minimum of $23 for every unlicensed aign that thry remove. If the pcrnon who puts up the aign ia hauled into court, be can be fined up to $.r0. When the 1 955 legislature pann ed thia law, It never drenmed it would apply to political sii;ns. Hut Nikon says the law clearly affects them. Nilsen will write to every can didate for atate and county office to warn them, Thomaa G. Current, assistant to Nilnen, ia trying to enforce the tignbi-nrd regulation. He iayi hia office doesn't have any inten tion of arresting every candidate whoshai an unauthorized or un licensed aign. . j , No Enforcement Fonda The answer is that it couldn't be enforced. Nilscn's department is having enough trouble enforc ing the law now. That's because the legislature didn't appropriate any money for enforcement of the law. Consequently, enforcement now ia being done as a part time acti vity of labor department men who ire assigned to other jobs, tuch as making electrical inspec tion. Nilsen la going to ask the State Emergency Board for permission to apend the aign license fees for enforcement ...... Generally, the law says that signboards must be 300 to 1,000 leet apart, depending on the aize of the signs and the type of road. Annual fees of 50 cents to $3 must be paid for each sign, and outdoor advertising companies pay an additional yearly lee of $25 to $100. So far, 2.100 signs owned by outdoor advertising companirl have been licensed, and only 70S individually-owned signs. County Officer Plans Talks on Zoning Action Four talks explaining the func tions of the Marion County Plan ning Commission and the meaning and importance of county zoning are scheduled during the next few days by David Baker, planning technician. The talks are part of a continuous-series-aimed at informing and preparing the county's citizens to answer the question, "Should the Marion County Court be authorized to enact zoning and land use regu lations in Marion County?" which will appear on the May 18 primary ballot. Baker will speak tonight before meeting o the Farm Bureau Center at I o'clock in Hazel Green grade school. Dates and places of subsequent discussions are: Friday, North Howell PTA, 1:30 p.m., Central Howell grade school; Monday, Mt. Angel Business Men's Club, 6:30 p.m., Mt. Angel Hotel; Tuesday, Brook PTA, 8 p.m., Brooks grade school. Baker urged all individuals or groups interested in knowing more about the planning commission and, particularly, about the prin cipals of zoning to contact the commission for a meeting date. The deadline for lireming wan Feb. 1, but Current think that hundred of signs remain cm lirenned. - 97 Inllrensed Signs For example, in the 21 mile stretch between Hubbard and Salem mi Highway DUE, current counted 91 unliccnicd aigns the other day. fifteen aigns already have been licensed on the exprewway. One problem i those signs that rover the whole aide of a born. Current says these come un der the law. Hut what should he do about it if the farmer refuses to take out a license? Current could either tear the barn down or repaint it, but cither method i efimulereH liut HriiKtie ' Traffic Claims 27 Over Slalc In Fcl)ruary Works is conndered too drastic Hardship Noted , Current says the law some hardships. He told about a woman who has run a melon stand on an Eastern Oregon highway, for years, she has had her big signs in the sagebrush along the high way. .She can't get her signs licensed until she gels permission of the owner of the land. She can't find out who owns that sagebrush, so Twenty seven pernor were kill ed In On-jron traffic arrident in February, Secretary of Stale Farl T. Newbry said, Three of the death occurred In the Marlon folk County area. The preliminary atate count showed multiple death arrident arcotinllng tor nearly half the fatalities. Twelve persons were killed In five crashes. Four died in one accident in Lane County. The two deaths In Marion Coun ty occurred in a train-car sort' dent Feb. 13 at Marion. Victims were F.dward H. Carlson and his Portland Salem I""1 w"am Carlson, both of Tur ner, Paul W. Lee of Cervallls was killed in a one-car accident on ice Feb. 18 on Highway 90 W near Helmick State Park. The atate count for February was the same as for January, bringing the 1950 toll to M for the first two months. This is two more than in the similar period last year. Marlon and Polk Counties each had one traffic death in January. The two-month total for the two counties is five, same a last year at the end of February, The state figures may be rais ed by late reports or by further deaths from injuries received in February accidents, Newbry said. Sal cm Growers she can't put up any aign. this JQ AttClld StjltC Orchid lianquct year. "The key thing right now." Current says, "Is to let the poli ticians know about the law so they won't be embarrassed politi cally or financially. If we have to pull down aome aigna, we'll be accused of political favoritism, and we want to avoid that "Another point to remember is that no sign can be licensed un less the property owner gives written permission." .
