MILLION LESS FOR ROAD FUND
IN 1934 FOR STATE OF OREGON’
. Salem, Ore.—Comparison of mo
tor vehicle registration receipts and
gasoline tax collections under the
old and new highway revenue-rais
ing laws has been made by the of
fice ot P. J. Stadelman, secretary of
state, and the comparative summari
zation is presented for the first time
since the more recent license regu
lations and fuel tax rate became ef
fective.
A loss of more than one and one-
third million dollars to the highway
fund is shown for the ten months of
1934, ending October 31, which is a
13 per cent decrease in revenue from
all sources. The period taken for
comparative analysis is from July 1,
1932, to April 30, 1933, the last
ten-month registration stretch un
der the former licensing law. Re
ceipts from motor vehicle licenses,
from motor transportation charges
collected by the public utilities com
missioner, and from gasoline taxes
are included in the report.
THE HERMISTON HERALD. HERMISTON, OREGON.
While vehicle registrations have
jumped up 15 per cent this year
over the former period, the number
increasing from 239,900 to 276,420
during 1934, the collections from
licenses on these vehicles have
dropped 58 per cent or from $5,251,-
480.99 to 12,185,405.27, due to the
flat $5.00 license fee established by
the 1933 legislature for all passen
ger cars and to the adjustment in
truck license fees. Under the prior
law, the average fee for passenger
cars was *20, the rate depending on
the weight of the automobile.
When license fees were lowered
by the legislature, an additional cent
tax was placed on motor fuels. This
increased the revenue from that
source for the ten mouths 32 per
cent, from *4,612,408.50 to *6,102,-
505.81. At the same time, trans
portation charges collected by the
utilities commissioner were adjusted
bringing a rise of 58 per cent tn re
ceipts from this source, from $331,-
695.96 to *525,427.24.
The total amount collected from
all sources during the ten months
under the prior fee and tax rates
was *10,195,585.45, while during
1934 the revenue has reached a to
tal of »8,813,338.32, or *1,382,247.-
13 less in receipts. Refunds on gas
oline taxes for non-hlghway use of
the fuel have been deducted from the
totals given, but administrative ex-
penses have not been deducted.
