Arthur H. Moore, 75
Former Councilmon Dies
Arthur H. Moore, veteran bicycle merchant, former member
of the city council and member
from the time it was formed until last fall, died early Sunday
night at a local hospital, following an illness of several months.
Moore, the last surviving child
court Judge for 30 years, a n d

came to Oregon. The family
lived at St. Helens. He came to
Salem from that town in 1898
In 1896 he was married to El-
Ida Ryan, who died several years
ago.
Before going into the bicycle
business here Moore had charge
of carpentering at the Oregon
State hospital. He opened his
first shop here in 1912, at 421
Court street, and after occupy
ing a number of different loca
tions in 1923 built the Moore
apartments at 241 North High
street.
The lower floor of the build
ing was used as a bicycle store
and there were also quarters for
another store. In 1946 the shop
was enlarged to twice its former
size and room was made for an
extensive stock of other sport
ing good, including equipment
for hunting, fishing, boating and
camping.
Moore in addition to serving
on the city council and the civil
service board, until ill health
prevented his taking a part, was
active in many civic affairs. He
was a life member of both the
Masonic and the Elks lodge and
a member of the White Shrine
and the Order of the Eastern
Star.
Surviving are two daughters.
Mrs. Helen Bradley and Miss
Ruth Moore, both of Salem, and
several nieces and nephews.
Announcement of funeral ser
vices will be made later by the
W. T. Rigdon chapel.

Insurance Cut
On Automobiles
Oregon automobile owners got
an average 22 percent reduction
today in their automobile insur-'
ance rates for fire, theft and
collision.
The reduced rates were filed
by all companies with State In-
surance Commissioner S e t h
Thompson.
There was no reduction in
public liability and property
damage insurance, but Thomp-1
son's office said it thinks lower,
rates for this type of insurance
might be coming as soon as the '
companies investigate their lia
bility experience. -t
The companies said they were
able to reduce the fire, theft and,
collision rates because of the re
duced number of accidents in'
Oregon. But insurance officials
said there also are some other,
reasons, including the fact that
many automobile owners stop-
ped buying collision insurance,
when rates were increased after
the war.
The rate reduction will am-'
ount to 25 percent for car own-
ers who drive less than 7.500-
! miles a year, have no persons In
the family under 25 years old
who drive the family car, and
who don't use the car in bust-'
ness. ,
The reduction will be 15 per
cent for salesmen and other per
sons who use their cars In their
business, as well as for persons,
who drive more than 7500 miles,
a year.
