Oregon Motor Licenses Produce Vast Revenue During the month of May, said Sam A. Kozer, secretary of state, today n a statement from his department, there were 6,591 passenger cars, 696 trucks, 194 motorcycles. 20 motor ve hicle dealers, 931 chauffeurs and 5, 360 motor vehicle operators licensed fftm which the fees aggregated $211,- 907.59. During the corresponding month in the year 1923 there were 7.099 passenger cars, 675 trucks, 297 motorcycles, 20 motor vehicle dealers, 1.028 chauffeurs and 6,419 motor ve hicle operators licensed, the total fees therefrom being 1226,421.50. These figures show a slight falling off In the month of May, 1924, from May, 1923, registration as well as in the aggregate fees received. However, the total registrations up to May 31, 1924, show 26,649 more passenger cars registered then during the corres ponding period In the year 1923; also, an excess of 1,627 motor trucks; mak ing total motor vehicle registrations of May 81, 1924, of 28.176 more than during the same period of the year 1923. The aggregate of the fees from the activities in connection with the licensing of motor vehicles thus far during the year 124 show receipts of $719,575.53 in excess of those dur ing 1923. So far for 1924 license fees aggregating $4,251,304.53 have been received as against $3,531,729 during the same period of 1923. Taking into consideration the fact that the sales of motor vehicles thus far during 1924 have not been as great as during the corresponding period of 1923, yet, in view of the ac tivities in motor vehicle registrations during the last half of 1923, we can safely estimate a- total of 190,000 motor car registrations during 1924, from which the license fees should aggregate well onto $4,750,000. The moneys received from the gas oline tax and the motor vehicle li cense fees are all transferred to the State Highway fund with the excep tion of such sums as are necessary in the administration of the motor vehicle laws which is not in excess of 4 per cent of the total fees. This expense includes the cost of plates, the maintenance of the traffic force appointed by the secretary of state, the registration of motor vehicle op erators, and all the work incident to the various provisions of the motor vehicle law. Assuming that the gasoline tax will return during the year $2,750,000.00, and the net receipts from motor ve hicle licenses will be $4,600,000.00, there will be a total of $7,350,000.00 available from such sources for the State Highway Fund, out of which there must first be paid the bonded obligation falling due during the year not in excess of $2,200,000.00. This leaves substantially $5,000,000.00 for the general maintenance and upkeep of the highways and for such further road extension and improvements as are contemplated by the State High way Commission in carrying out the general road program of the state. Growers of newly planted orchards may save themselves much later trou ble from the flat head borers by shading the trunk of the newly set tree, since the female revels in sun shine and seeks the direct light for depositing her eggs. Boards set up on the south side of the tree so as to lean against it offer good and ade quate shade, the experiment station reports. If the boards are not handy a very good substitute as recommend ed by the station is newspaper wrap ped about the trunk to shade the tree. ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED.
