EARLY SPRING CANDIDATES
Democrats are busy taking
tele-photo shots of the 1960 elec

announced Friday that new esti

from O & C Lands for fiscal '59
will be $4 more than originally
estimated. He said, "ol tne $4
increase, the O & C counties
would receive an additional $2
million if they desired to trans
fer one-third of the money to be
used in construction of access
roads."
Under present statutes a per
centage of such revenue is pay
able to the Counties as a per
manent appropriation. The coun
ties have voluntarily anowea
one-third of funds due them to
be appropriated for construction
of access roads on O & C and
Coos Bay wagon road lands.
BASIC SPEED LAW
Oregon's Traffic Safety Com
mission stuck bv the state's ba
sic speed law rule this week for
the second time in less than a
year when it defeated by a 5-2
vote a recommendation tnai u
endorse a speed law with a top
maximum speed.
The issue was submitted to
the Commission because of plans
of the Association of Chiefs of
Police and the Highway Life-
savers to urge maximum speeds
in cities of the state.
