Their portable plants are constantly repairing the highways at great cost and the Highway Engineer has estimated that it will cost the Commission $50,000.00 to patch and repair the Pacific Highway between Salem and Oregon City. 1 The heavy commercial freight Trucks and Motor Busses have done the greater part of this damage within the past two years. The taxpayers and private car owners pay at least 95 cents out of every dollar of this bill. Refcirimdum petitions are being) circulated by thes Motor Bus and Freight Truck Associations to submit the "Bus and Truck Bill" passed at the last session of the Legislature for vote by the people in November, 1926. The effective date unless referred is May 28, 1925. By these referending petitions operators of commercial Busses and Trucks hope to put off for 18 months the date when they must start paying for at least a portion of the damage they are doing to the roads. This Bus and Truck measure should not be held up to permit the commercial operators to escape payment of a fair part of the cost of repairing the road destruction done by their operations.
