New Accident Fund
To Contain $250000
a : ti'ocn AAA w '
the newly-created "motor vehicle
accident fund" during the coming
two years when Oregon drivers con
tribute 50 cents each as they obtain
their driver's licenses for the 1941
1943 license period.
The fund is set up by the law en
acted by the 1941 legislative assem
bly taxing each operator a fee of
50 cents in addition to the regular
fee of one dollar for his driver's li
cense. The fund thus created will be used
to defray hospitalization expenses of
indigent persons injured in automo
bile accidents.
No change has been made in the
driver examination' law this year
and all drivers holding current li
censes may renew without taking
any examination except those ap
plicants who are 70 years of age or
older, and those who were not li
censed during the 1939-1941 period.
The law setting up the motor ve
hicle accident fund provides that
"before issuing, or renewing any
motor vehicle operator's license ex
cept chauffeur s licenses, instruc
tion permits, emergency permits and
student permits, the secretary of
state shall collect from each appli
cant therefor an additional sum of
fifty cents for each license. . ." While
in effect the fee amounts to 25 cents
a year, it must be paid in one sum
of 50 cents at the time the license
is issued.
Payments to hospitals under the
act will be by the state industrial
accident commission and all hospit
als, in order to apply for benefits,
must register with the commission
and agree to abide by the schedule
of hospitalization costs fixed and
promulgated for industrial accidents
by the commission. Hospitals are
required to make monthly reports
to the commission, listing complete
detail of the accident cases for which
they make claims for payments.
Under definitions in the act, "in
digent patient" is defined as a per
son who has suffered an accidental
motor vehicle injury, is received and
cared for in a hospital and is unable
to pay for the cost of such care. It
excludes an employe suffering from
a motor vehicle injury on account of
which he is entitled to the benefits
of the workmen's compensation law.
The patient is deemed unable to
pay hospital charges "if it shall ap
pear that, should an action be
brought and judgment secured
against him, or any person legally
responsible for his care and sup
port, for the amount thereof, execu
tion thereon would be unavailing."
When claim for payment is filed
by a hospital, it must contain an
affidavit of the indigent patient, if
living, and the statement of a county
court, county judge, county commis
sioner, or like representative of a
social agency engaged in the relief
of the poor, having knowledge of
the facts, showing that the indigent
patient is unable to pay such hos
pital charges.

NOTICE TO PERSONAL PROP
ERTY TAX PAYERS
On June 14th the new personal
property tax law becomes effective,
This law makes it mandatory that
the sheriff issue warrants against
persons whose personal property
taxes are delinquent. These war
rants after service upon the tax
payer, if not paid, are filed with the
county clerk and by him placed up
on the jugment docket which there
after becomes a lien upon any real
or personal property owned by the
person against whom the warrant is
issued and subject to enforcement as
any other execution in a court of
record.
Any person having delinquent
personal taxes should call at the
tax collector's office and get their
taxes straightened before this law
goes into effect.
