On recommendation of the State
Highway Commission eleven special
log hauling permits, involving the
u*^ of 20 trucks, have been cancelled
by .Utilities Commissioner Georg* H.
Flagg. *s follows:
A. J. and N. C. Standley, Camas
Valley, Oregon; J. D. Bryson, Rose­
burg; Hugh H. Honnen, Eugene;
Harold O. Nichols, Reedsport; N. E.
Gannon, Jr., Woodburn; Howard
Jenkin*, Myrtle Pqint; Mknley Wat­
son, Scottsburg; Alfred Baldridge,
Reedsport; Donald Baldrige, Reeds­
port; Edwin Matten, Coquille, and
Jack Baldridge and Ben Baldridge,
hauling on the permit of the E. K.
Wood Company. Reedsport.
Commissioner Flagg promptly fol­
lowed the mandatory provision* of
the act when the Highway Com­
mission filed its recommendation. The
communication
recited that
th*
haulers involved had been frequent
offenders in overloading trucks to
the point that safety of the high­
way* and bridges was endangered.
Overloads of from five to 25 ton*
, were cited.
The loser* in this battle with th«
law have an opportunity to re­
engage in log transportation by con­
vincing the Highway Commission
that they will abide by the law* gov­
erning weight of loads, and recognize
that protection of the state’s vast in­
vestment in highway* and their
availability for the safe and rapid
movements of troops is a prime re­
quirement by the War Department.
