TAX TURNOVER IS
out Sunday.
LARGER THIS YEAR
(St. Helens Sentinel-Mist)
More than $90,000 more in tax­
es have been collected this year
than for the same period in 1933,
according to the turnovers made
by Deputy Sheriff Veazie this
week to the county treasurer.
Four turnovers amounting to
$65,448.89 were made this week,
which brings 1934’s total collec­
tions up to $259,713.42, more
than one third of this year’s to­
tal tax.
Current taxes collected amount­
ed to $40,538.91, much of this
amount being for second quarter
tax payment period which ended
last Friday. The turnover for de-
TOO FAST FOR CONDITIONS
A motorist unable to stop when
the unexpected happens is driv­
ing too fast for conditions. On
linquent taxes collected for 1929
was $3,889.70; 1930, $5,949.22;
1931, $8,917.24; 1932, $10,-
043.52.
A turnover is yet to be made
before June 30 for the semi-an­
nual report amounting to $5,340-
25 for the 1928 and prior year
taxes.
During the first half of 1933
$46,939.03 was paid on delinquent
years’ taxes compared to a total
of $157,036.98 taken in this
year on delinquent taxes.
icy roads in order for a car
equipped with four-wheel brakes
to stop in 126 feet, speed should
not exceed 18 miles per hour. On
snow-covered roads, to be able to
stop in 126 feet, speed should
not exceed 25 miles an hour. On
wet road surfaces, a speed around
35 miles an hour will permit a
stop to be made in 126 feet, and
on good, dry roads, to stop in
the same distance, speed must not
be over 40 miles per hour.
The moral to driving is that
speeds must be determined by
road conditions and other factors
of traffie.
WATER FRONT STRIKE
HAS MARKED INFLUENCE
ON MONTH’S BUSINESS
The waterfront strike, which
has plagued Portland and other
Pacific coast seaports since May
9, has a marked influence on vol­
ume of business activity last
month, according to the June is­
sue of Business Survey, published
and distributed by Common­
wealth, Inc., of Portland. The
Commonwealth index of Portland
business was at 60 of a computed
normal, against 80 in April and
61 in May 1933.
Industrial activity was some­
what curtailed due to inability of
manufacturers, particularly lum­
ber mills, to make shipments.
Lumber stocks at tidewater mills
grew rapidly during the month
until lack of piling space indicat­
ed curtailed production. The mar- j
ket for Oregon lumber continued I
to be quiet and there is little in
the outlook suggestive of awak­
ened lumber demand.
The bright side of the picture,
says Business Servey, is the ex­
cellent prospect for Oregon agri­
culture. Both fruit and grains are
doing well in most sections of the

state and the possibility of satis­
factory prices this fall are en­
hanced by shortage in other parts
of the country. David Eccles, edi­
tor of Business Survey, thinks the
business outlook for this fall is
considerably more optimistic than
a year ago, provided labor diffi­
culties do not result in further
contraction in buying power and
uncertainty. So long as the fu­
ture is cloudy, business will hesi­
tate to make future committ­
ments, so vital to progress against
depression.
