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.
