Must Report All
Traffic Accidents
All traffic accidents in Oregon
must be reported, regardless of the
amount of property damage or whe
ther anyone was killed or injured,
Earl Snell, secretary of state, replied
today in answer to several inquiries
on this matter received from Ore
gon citizens.
Confusion exists in the minds of
many persons on this matter, these
inquiries indicated. Many persons
believe there is a minimum property
damage limit under which accidents
need not be reported. Some states,
for example, do not require report
ing of accidents in which no one is
killed or injured and property dam
aee amounts to less than $50. How
ever, in Oregon, there is no such
legal minimum and all accidents
must be reported.
Accidents in rural areas should be
reported to the sheriff of the county
in which the accident occurred while
accidents in urban areas should be
rpnorted to the local chief of police.
r . . . ,
These reports are required to oe
made within 24 hours of the time
the accident occurred.
Accident reports in Oregon are
not open to public inspection and
may not be admitted as evidence
in anv court action arising from any
accident, it was emphasized. The
reports are used in assembling tacts
on accidents with the view ol im
proving conditions and preventing
their recurrence.

Safety Quiz Shows
Go to Other States
Oregon's radio safety quiz shows.
sponsored by Earl Snell, secretary
of state, have attracted official at
tention in at least three other states,
it was disclosed today.
The traffic safety division of the
state department has received quer
ies from the official state safety
organizations of Texas, Georgia and
Wyoming, asking the details of this
new type of safety program. The
queries followed an article on the
Oregon show which recently appear
ed in a national safety publication.
RICHFIELD STATION COMING
Construction of a service station
for the Richfield Oil company on
the former J. L. Yeager property
on the northeast corner of Main
and Center streets will start soon,
it has been announced. The prop
erty was recently purchased by Wil
liam H. Buschman who leased the
property to Richfield.
FIRE IN WOODSHED
A fire in the woodshed at the
Archie Ball residence caused an al
arm to be sounded about 3:30 o'
clock yesterday afternoon. Quick re
sponse of the fire boys made short
shrift of the outlaw blaze.
Nine Lives Taken in
Chain of Accidents
A chain of non-collision automo
bile accidents has taken nine lives
in Oregon so far this month, the toll
being 56 percent of the traffic deaths
reported during the first 18 days of
March, Earl Snell, secretary of state,
announced today in urging motorists
to evercise more care on curves and
when passing on roads bordered with
gravel shoulders.
Three of these nine non-collision
accidents occurred when cars went
out of control on curves, apparently
due to excessive speed. Three oth
ers involved cars which skidded in
loose gravel bordering the road sur
face while in one the driver went
to sleep while driving. In. another
a truck's brakes failed to hold as it
nosed down a bank, and the other
accident occurred when the car ap
parently broke a wheel and overturned.
While there were nine fatal non
collision accidents reported in the
state during the early period in
March, there were only two fatal
accidents involving the collision of
two or more cars, the remainder of
the fatalities involving motor vehicle-pedestrian
accidents.
