The patrol made 1087 arrests during March as compared with 855 during February. Three hundred and three arrests were mads for speeding, more than half of which were in Salt Lakev county. During February, 231 tickets were issued by the patrol for speeding. r One hundred motorists were given tickets for running stop signs, as compared with 93 during February. The surprising feature of the report is the number of Utah motorists who continue to drive without a driver's license. The patrol issued 249 tickets to drivers who had failed to comply with the drivers license requirement, while 175 motorists were given tickets because the cars they were driving were not properly registered. During the month, the patrol issued 574 warning tickets as compared to 384 issued during February. With 35 traffic fatalities already this year, W. D. Hammond, Chairman of the Road Commission, has issued f n earnest appeal to all Utah motorists to use extreme caution in driving during the balance of the year, and to also be sure that the cars they drive are in first class mechanical condition. Mr. Hammond expressed the opinion that this is the only way that traffic fatalities can be held to a miny imum; fifty-fou- Crew about ready to do their trick at Tooele-Bingha- m Tunnel, Portal in background.
