Truck Use Of Highways
Subject Of State Study
The Oregon Slate Highway De
partment is undertaking a high
way classification study which
will determine maximum possible
use of highways by the trucking
industry, according to Forrest
Cooper, state highway engineer.
Some of the state's older high
ways have sharp curves which
cannot he negotiated by the
largest-size trucks without cross
ing over the center stripe. For
this reason, many of these older
highways are restricted to trucks
of shorter length.
A three-unit caravan will make
the study. The pilot car of the
caravan warns the other two ve
hicles of oncoming traffic with
its two-way radio or stops the
traffic when necessary. A bright
led 40-foot semi-trailer follows
the pilot car and tests curves in
the road. The operator in the ob
servation car behind the truck
takes movies of the turn and

City Requests Refund
For Erroneous Taxes
MOUNT SHASTA A refund of:
$802.60 plus interest is the amount
asked by the city of Mount Shas
ta from Siskiyou County on taxes
erroneously levied on the city
park property. The property was
once owned by Chico State Col
lege and deeded to the city a
number of years ago. The park
has been maintained as a public
facility and has been in constant
ue. members of the city coun
cil learned at their last meeting.
A variance permit to Wilbur
Pope was granted, with the con
ditions specified by the city
planning commission for a build
ing to house a hardware business
on Chestnut Street. Conditions arc
that Pope provide eight off-street
parking spaces and additional off
street loading space in the rear of
the building. Pope's present build
ing on Lake Street will not be
usable when the access street is
put in use upon completion of
the freeway.
Charles Echols, department of
public works, reported that park
ing space offered for lease by Vic
tor Andreatta, adjacent to the
post office and to be used as a
city parking lot, would cost $2,200
to pave and $1,100 to gravel
providing 19 spaces. Another site
on East Castle Street is for sale
and would provide 14 spaces.
Council voted to buy a parking
lot if an agreeable price can be
reached.
James Shiro. head ranger of the
Sacramento district office in
Mount Shasta, explained to the
council that he has had numer
ous complaints about the fire si
rens making too much noise on
downtown streets. He said the
forest service would be liable if
an accident were to occur while
the fire trucks were en route to
a fire with no sirens. He added it
was a state law that vehicles
sound sirens from the time they
leave the forest service property
and are on occupied streets.

A proposed sewer line is being
studied for the area west of. and
including. Maple Street and West
Lake Street, where seme busi
nesses will move to more satis
factory sites when the access en
trance off the freeway is com

into the best route for the line.
Improvement of Cedar Street,
from West Alma to Ivy Street,
will he done with state gas tax
refund money. The last block will
remain as it is, because owners
of he property on that block
did not sign up in the survey
to attain a 60 per cent majority
wanting surfacing, curbs, and gut
ters. Cedar will be a dead-end
street when the freeway goes
through, and no more gas tax
money will be allocated for it as
a main thoroughfare.

If the semi s wheels cross
the center line, it is recorded
by the movie camera.
The classification study will pin
point the trouble spots, and a
modest program of betterment
will be undertaken. In some cases,
minor improvement of a very
few isolated cases will permit
reclassification of a highway to
standard permitting longer
loads. This information will be
made available to the trucking
industry.
Previously some 55 per cent,
or 4.100 miles, of highway had
been classified. There is no prob
lem with the interstate highways
as they will take any legal-size
truck.
