Effective July 1 and hailed as a major step forward by law enforcement officers and the courts, the five-by-eight-inch ticket is expected to make citing for traffic more convenient for all concerned including the offender. The ticket will be issued at all levels city, county, and state doing away with old multi-sized tickets, and setting a uniform bail schedule for traffic offenses. "State Police Captain Far ley Mogan, head of the traf fic division, believes the lat ter will mean the end of so called "speed traps," commun ities where traffic arrests are frequent and bait often very high. Major Offandiri Hit The new bail schedule, how ever, will hit major offenders harder in some areas. The minimum bail for a felony involving traffic is $1,000 and driving while intoxicated $300. Entry of the required bail on the ticket by the arrest ing officer is a new feature.

In so ruling Wednesday, the State Supreme Court up held the conviction of William Roy Hutchinson, Klamath Falls, on a charge of contrib uting to the delinquency of a minor. The opinion by Justice First National Loans Reach High Loans have reached an all time high at First National Bank of Oregon, the bank's June 15 statement of condi tion figures showed. , Loans and discounts of $507,107,549 were reported, which topped the previous mark of $488,958,106 set Dec. 31, 1959. The current figure represents an Increase of $44, 172,102 over the June 10, 1959, bank call and it is up $26,790,626 since the early spring call, which reflects a continuing heavy demand for bank credit. Deposits at the bank's 82 offices throughout the state were reported at $833,014, 742, down slightly from last June's $840,804,145. The cur rent figure is down $3,493,- 802 from the March call fig ure. The Medford branch of First National reported June 15 deposits of $24,455,787 and loans totalling $16,785, 804, according to J. A. Moore, vice president and manager. Figures at the Central Point branch show that on June 15 deposits at the branch were $3,028,734 and loans were $2, 516,926, according to Francis C. Ayres, branch manager. Comparable totals at the branch for a year ago show deposits of $2,952,927 and loans totaled $2,130,123. At the mid-year point, C. B. Stephenson, president of the state-wide banking system, noted that the institution will open a branch later this year at Phoenix. Completion of the new $3V4 million Portland head office building is sched uled for October. . Boat Gas Price Must Include Tax Salem IUPD - The price of gas sold for use in boats in Oregon must include the six cents per gallon state tax, the Oregon Motor Vehicles De partment said Wednesday , The department said It has had inquiries lately from ma rina operators and boat own ers in all parts of the state asking if gas could be pur chased less the tax. This would eliminate the need to file a refund claim for gas used for non-highway purpose. Department officials said the law does not permit this practice, and gas sold for all boats must be taxed. George Rossman affirmed Klamath County Circuit Judge David R. Vandenberg. Hutchison was charged in i connection with a five-year- old boy. Parents Testified Although the boy did not testify at the trial, his par ents were permitted to testi fy as to what the boy told them Immediately after the youngster emerged from Hut chison's trailer house. Hut chison asserted this testimo ny was objectionable as hearsay. The court said the issue 1 was whether the boy's state ments were spontaneous or impulsive rather than "the product of reflection and de liberation," and held the parents' testimony was ad missable In a Multnomah county case, the high court affirmed a $9,000 judgment for Sammy Vaughn, 13, recovered after being hit by a truck in a crosswalk. The defendant was Ann Palmer Bakeries, Inc., and Eugene Bax. Jackson County Cat. Other decisions: Douglas E.
