velopment commission which
is to broaden the economic
base of the community. The
group also favored placing a
three to five year limitation
on the license ordinance.
However, businessmen said
the fees -would be continued
if the program is successful.
City councilmen said the
ordinance would receive fur
ther study and would consid
er suggestions of time limits.

came after a question and an
swer session at the chamber
meeting.
Councilman Ken Jones said
the only purpose of the license
fees would be for the use of
economic betterment of the
community. The proposed tax
would cover both retail and
wholesale business in Ash

Traffic Accidents
Cost $55 Million
Salem W Traffic acci
dents cost Oregon about $55
million last year, the Motor
Vehicle Department has re
ported. Gov. Robert D. Holmes
termed the cost "a shocking
reminder of the need for the
state's stepped-up - accident
prevention program."
In 1956, accident costs were
estimated at $50,640,000.
The governor figured that
every licensed drivers' share
of the state's bill would be
about $64, or about $6 more
per driver than in 1956.
The figures are based on
calculable costs of motor ve
hicle accidents, such as wage
loss, medical expense and
overhead cost of insurance
and property damage.
