The special report of Captain Jones' in regard t vehicle accidents is interesting in-teresting inasmuch as it outlines the reasons for crashes and sutrests remedies rem-edies It follows: From the following report. It will be noted that the vehicular accidents are in excess of what they should be and the number shown constitutes only a portion of those that actually occurred. Many cases occurred outside out-side the buslneys section and as there were no fatalities or serious consequences conse-quences they were never reported tr. the station by either those concerned or by witnesses- A lurge majority of the cases reported re-ported and Investigated proved to be a disregarded traffic regulation and I J carclessneji. in some eases the cause : was luck of knowledce of such r-Ku- : latlon. Fortunately then- was but on.- fatality. Every effort has been e.crel?."! OT I the part of the departm. ni'to InstfUCl and regulate traffic that all such ac-. ac-. Idents mncht be reduced to a mini- j mum. During the year painted markings wn-e placed alone the Ftr.-et urblngB do.-icn tiing whcr- autolsts should park tnd where fljey should not and at , what .-iiiri 10 tark. In addition i" this feature concrete zones were plac- j , ed at Intersections and additional onei , , placed at street car slops to lnur safety, all of which hav proven atis- ( j factory and good results obtained. In September of this year, an ordJ" , I nance restricting ihe usv of bright ' I headlights and placing a regulation on ihe an:lo at which they were to be ,' pitched became effective and a decld-1 l Improvement took place. No doubt this regulation avoided many acci-j dents. To accomodate the public and asslai them to comply with this ordinance ordi-nance It was necessary to keep an officer of-ficer at ihc police parage every evening eve-ning for a month or more to inspc t their lights Over fifteen Jjuhdrod received re-ceived Inspection certificates and mans cars passed throuph the garage several sev-eral times.

His report follows; fol-lows; "Wiih th chaiipe tn me administration adminis-tration of the city's affairs, which became be-came effective January fourth, cam a change in the personnel of the police po-lice department under your direction Having In mind the best interests of the public and a desire to build a competent and efficient police force, ev. ry consideration has been allowed I where changes have taken pi... .-. 1 am ph ased to report that the pres-! pres-! enl force and the achievements at- taihod during the past year are most satisfactory. e have experienced little or no trouble from strikes or trouble of a : like naiure and taking into consideration considera-tion the more or less unsettled condition condi-tion exlsiting throughout the nation, It Is a notable fact that we have not experienced proportionately the num- br-r of more serious crimes as reported report-ed from time to time by surrounding Itles or thoso'inore distant The alertness al-ertness and watchfulness of the off 1-j t cers, I feel confident, have had a great tendency to suppress crime of all natui 1 a The mi. rale (f the department has been of the best. Patience and calm- 1 ness have been exercised and w in n occasion has arisen requiring overtime, i the officers have complied without complaint regardless of the fact that 11 meant loss of sleep, Irregular meal etc. and dangers necessarily incurred were fa-cd without faltering The conduct of the force and the achievements attained are offered as evidence of the discipline maintained and proof of loyalty which should serve to Inspire pdbfli mfidence. A feature worthy .,f mention also is the hearty co-operation existing between be-tween the Weber county sheriff's force and this department which has been r.-at aid.
