Register
In July. 1971. the Oregon State
Legislature passed the state's
, first law requiring the registra
tion of home builders, home
remodflers, and subcontract
ors. Oregon is now one of 34
states that require builders to
register. The act created a
five-member Builders Boad to
administer the law.
According to a pamphlet
released by the State Depart
ment of Commerce, anyone who
undertakes, offers to undertake
or submits a bid to construct,
alter, repair, improve, move or
demolish a structure must
register. Any person or firm
who offers to do any work in
connection with the construc
tion, alteration, repair, im
provement, moving or demoli
tion of a structure that is less
than three stories high and
covers a floor area of less than

4,000 sq. foot must also regis her.
Bob Haley, an investigator
with the Department of Com
merce, reports that the law
stales a home builder or
subcontractor may not file suit
or maintain an action in court
for breach of contract or
performance of work unless the
worker is registered at the time
he enters the contract. Local
officers of permit-writing
agencies will require evidence
of registration or exemption
before issuing building permits.
The Builders Board can per
manently deny registration or
levy fines of up to $1000. for
violation or failure to register.
It is also a misdemeanor under
ORS 701. two. Each home builder
and subcontractor is required to
pay a fee, post bond, and file a
certificate of insurance as
follows: Fee-builder, $20; sub
contractor, $10; Bond-builder,
$:UK0; sub-contractor, $1,000;
Certificate of Insurance-builder,
$50-100,000 public liability
and $25,000 property damage;
subcontractor--$50-100,000 pub
lic liability and $25,000 property
damage.
"The purpose of the law is not
to put innocent people in jail or
fine them", according to Mr.
Haley. "We're trying to prevent
damage to the home. I m just in
this area now to warn local
people about registering. Then
if we come back later, we will
have to be stricter if things are
not taken care of as they should
be."
"The law is doing some
good". Mr. Haley noted, "but
when the legislature passed the
bill, it didn't allow any money
for enforcement. That's one of
the major problems now".
Some examples of specialty
subcontractors who must reg
ister include carpentry, plas
tering, masonry, roofing, paint
ing and wall coverings, drywell,
excavating, concrete work,
floor covering, ceramic tile,
sheet metal, furnace work,
equipment installing, steel
erecting, demolition, plumbing,
electrical wiring, glazing,
insulation, weather stripping,
storm window, accoustical and
millwork installers.
Complaints and warrants for
arrest have been issued, be
cause of this law and the
workings of the Department of
Commerce, for Don Steel,
Donnie Steel, Jr. and C.B.
Charles Smith for failure to
register as a licensed builder

KltOTHKK AND SISTER
By N.A.MYEKS
When you have an only brother
And he's many miles away,
U makes you think and wonder
About things you did one day.
It seems we had to fuss and
fight .
No difference what went wrong.
And now that he has gone away
It's a very different song.
Miss him, oh I miss him.
It seems like he's been gone so
long.
If he was here with me tonight
I wouldn't treat him wrong.
He'll come home again some
time
I hope it soon can be.
And I'll not fuss and fight with
him
You just wait and see.
I'd love to hug him around the
neck '
And kiss him more and more.
I'd treat him just the best!
could
So he'd never leave no more.
Now if you have a brother,
And he hasn't gone a way
Don 't fuss and fight with him at
all
And regret the same some day.
I didn't write this little deal
On how I wish I could.
But if he was really here
tonight,
Hug him? You just bet I would.
(The above poem was con
tributed by Mrs. Charles
Thomason of Heppner. It seems
Mrs. Thomason and her brother
and sister fought when they
were little, like most kids. Then
when her brother went in the
Navy, the girls found they
missed him, so one night their
father wrote this poem about
that.)
