The establishment of a representa
tive in the Eastern Oregon country
is in line with the commissioner’s
announced program of some time ago
to cooperate and render every possi
ble assistance to persons engaged in
the carriage of persons or property
under authority of the Motor Trans
portation Act. Both Mr. Nauman
and Mr. Miller will be very glad to
meet and cooperate with all opera
tors, and will give them every assis-
tance in adjusting any matters which
are now difficult of understanding,
Other districts are now being
planned throughout the state, each
of which will be in charge of a dis-
trict supervisor. It is hoped that
this will be a means of a closer re
lationship between the motor car
rier and the commission so that the
matter of compliance with the law
will be more easily understood by
those operating under the commis
sion’s jurisdiction, and at the same
time receive the benefit and assis
tance of a representative of the com
mission without the necessity of in
curring expense and time for travel
to Salem.
