Show 4X Traffic Case Switch 1 1 -- State new Board of Education was sworn into office today, but it will not e'ect permanent officers until February. County Attorney Carl J. Nemelka said today that he ordered the transfer of Utah Highway Patrol traffic cases from the jurisdiction of Salt Lake City courts to Murray, because Murrays city court is more cooperative than Salt Lake Citys courts. I had no choice than to take these cases to Murray, because Murray promised they would handle and process the cases with their clerical personnel," Nemelka said. Last July Salt Lake City court clerks brought to the County Attorney's Office 500 cases which Nemelka said required processing by clerical personnel. He said at that time he notified city officials $3200 Damages In County Fire - WEST JORDAN A fire in a bedroom closet caused an estimated $3,200 damage today to the Jim Feroah residence, 2331 W. 7800 South. Mrs. Feroach and her son Christopher, 3, escaped uninjured. Salt Lake Coutny Battalion Chief Glen Bean said the blaze was confined to the bedroom and closet, with smoke damage to the rest of brick home. the that started one-stor- y Slay Case Testimony Continues A clinical psyPROVO chologist testified Thursday that James Walter - Winkle talked to him about various voices which ordered him to destroy women. He had sexual fantasies, Hr. Arthur Traub, clinical psychologist at the University of Utah, said. Traub was a witness for the defense Thursday in the murder tnal of Winkle, who is charged with first degree murder counts of Kimberly Anderson, 17, Orem, and Lillian Anderson, 16, Provo. that his office was not cler- ically equipped to handle such a large number of cases. A short time after that, the courts sent to Nemelkas office another 300 cases that needed clerical processing. Nemelka informed them again that there was no way the County Attorneys Office could do the processing required because of a lack of personnel. It was then that he ordered the Highway Patrol to send their citations to Murray City, rather than to Salt Lake City courts. James H. Budd, supervisor of the Salt Lake City Traffic Violations Bureau, said these cases were referred to the County Attorneys Office for Working Hours complaints, warrants and the State Board of Education and increased its membership Clerks cannot issue complaints, warrants and summonses, Budd said, and they had to be referred to the County Attorneys Office. He explained that the problem grew because the city could not transfer Highway Patrol citation number, to city citation numbers. Therefore, they had to be prosecuted by the County Attorneys Office because of lack of pe.sonnel in the C;ty Attorneys Office. The cases became a tremendous backlog of unfinished and unprosecuted cases, he said. the Building, city courts, traffic violations bureau and the Metropolitan Hall of Justice will have to come to work at 8 a m starting Monday, instead of 8.30 a m. They will have a one hour lunch period. The ruling followed approval by the City Commission of recommendations submitted director by city personnel Lynn J. Marsh. This will not affect employes in the police and fire departments or the Hall of Justice who must work on rotating shifts, Marsh stated. y The news of the commission action was followed shortly by a petition among employes objecting to the fact that they were not given a choice of hours, it was reported Evidently some prefer working 8.30 am. to 5 pm. with a r lunch break rather than from 8 am. to 5 pm.
