Bean Gives Ruling
on Farm Truck Bill
An administrative ruling has been
handed down by Ormond R. Bean,
commissioner of public utilities of
Oregon, relative to the farm truck
relief bill passed in the last session
of the legislature. The measure was
one prepared and vigorously pushed
by Senator Rex Ellis of this district
and drew bitter opposition from
the commercial truck companies.
The bill had for its purpose giv
ing the farmer relief to the extent
that it permitted him to haul pro
duce for his neighboring farmer
rpsidinff within ten miles of his
property line to any market in the
state. Farmers, previous to this
time, were prohibited from this
privilege by being charged with
commercial truck PUC license.
Commissioner Bean s ruling was
made in response to the question:
"Does that part of the farm exemp
tion accorded farmers and orchard
ists when transporting for other
farmers and orchardists within the
five and ten mile areas allow trans
nortation to and from such areas?"
His answer is. "Yes. The five and
ten mile areas relate to the place
where the agricultural commodities
and products or livestock are raised
or produced, and such commodities
and products or livestock may be
transported from said farm within
the five and ten mile area to any
place within the state and in the
transportation of supplies that are
to be used or consumed on a farm
or orchard, such farm or orchard to
which they are to be delivered must
be within the five or ten mile area."
Farmers delivered nearly a half
billion pounds an exact 452,969,487
of whole milk to Oregon cream
eries an milk plants during 1939.
Nearly $77,000 was paid for the
whole milk.
