Pasre Two
Designated Speeds,
Other Traffic Laws
In Effect Saturday
Non-Resident Reg
istration Repeal,
Also Scheduled
Oregon's new . speed regulations.
the new law pertaining to the opera
tion of farm tractors and trailers
along the highway, the repeal of the
non-resident registration law and
other changes in motor vehicle reg
ulations become effective Saturday,
June 14th, the day which marks the
end of the 90-day period following
adjournment of the 1941 session of
the state legislative assembly.
After that date, the designated
prima facie speed limit on Oregon
highways outside municipal areas
will be 55 miles per hour instead of
45 miles an hour indicated speed.
In cities, the designated speed lim
its are 25 miles an hour in residen
tial areas and 20 miles an hour in
business districts while the speed
past school grounds has been raised
from 15 to 20 miles an hour.
These designated speeds may be
changed by action of the newly cre
ated speed control board in the case
of areas within city limits or on
county roads, and by the state high
way commission in the case of state
highways. The speed control board,
consisting of the secretary of state,
the superintendent of state police
and the chairman of the highway
commission, may act when consult
ed by city or county officials in
connection with changing designat
ed speed limits in cities or on county
roads or upon their own motion af
ter traffic engineering surveys. The
state highway commission will make
changes only on a basis of traffic
engineering studies.
Tourists from other states will not
be required to register their cars
when they enter Oregon after June
14th, due to the repeal of this law,
it was pointed out by Earl Snell,
secretary of state. Repeal of this
law is expected to save, the state of
Oregon approximately $20,000 an
nually in administrtive expenses.
Of interest to farm operators are
changes in the law relating to the
operation of farm tractors and trail
ers on public highways. After June
14th, the amended law will permit
farmers living in the area west of
the Cascades to operate their trac
tors along the highway a distance of
five miles from their farm without
licensing the tractor or trailer. In
the area east of the Cascades, the
distance is extended to ten miles
from the home farm. Under this
law, those farmers whose places are
within the presribed distance from
markets may haul produce to those
markets with tractors and trailers
without paying motor vehicle li
cense fees.
The law changing the weight clas
sification for light delivery and pick
ups which may be licensed for $5
goes into effect July 1st, the start
of the half-year period. After that
date, vehicles of this type up to
4,500 pounds may be licensed for
$5 a year. The present law places a
limit of 4,000 pounds on vehicles li
censed for this fee. However, the
secretary of state pointed out, there
has been no change in P. U. C. re
quirements which provide that com
mercial vehicles over 4,000 pounds
of a private farrier classification
which are operated for a distance
exceeding three miles from the lim
its of a city, are subject to P.U.C.
fees. Thus, while vehicles of 400
pounds may be licensed for $5 a year
after July 1st, if they are operated
out of town beyond a distance of
three miles, they will be subject to
P.U.C. regulations.

A and grade B. All these must be
clean eggs. Dirty eggs may be sold,
but only as grade B, soiled. Many
housewives do not realize that A
grade eggs are very fine eggs and
that actually the grade AA egg,
held under normal conditions for 24
hours, usually develops a larger air
cell than the law allows and so
drops to a grade A egg.
Retailers must candle and grade
eggs, but farmers or poultry raisers
who produce eggs on their own pre
mises may sell these eggs on the
place where they were, produced
without candling or grading
