(Special) Registra tion of motor vehicles in Oregon dur ing the first three months of the year was only 1.6 per cent under the registration totals for the first quar ter of the prior license period, from July 1 to September 30, 1933, which Jb considered a olgn of improved con ditions, when difference In seasons Is remembered, says the office of the secretary of state. P. J. Stadelman. Fees for both the half-year and for the current full year were $5.00 so that ttie amount to be paid had no bearing on the number of registra tions. With moro people on the roads in the summer months, It has been the department's experience that mid-winter registrations fall consid erably lower than mid-summer. How ever, the more open winter, as well as Improved business condition, are held responsible for the heavier reg istration this season. During the first quarter of 1934, 234,897 vehicles were listed, while the first three months of trie prior regis tration period showed a total of 238, 710 vehicles. Since January 1, 216. 082 passenger cars and 18.815 trucks and buses have been registered.

Licenses of 70 Drivers Revoked During 1 Month SALEM, Ore. (Special) Seventy drivers lost their licenses through re vocation or suspension orders in March, the largest number ever re corded In the office of the secretary of state. Increased co-operation of courts In reporting convictions to the state office Is held responsible to -3ome extent In raising the number of license cases . Driving while Intoxicated was the chief source of trouble as usual, with 54 persons receiving revocation of li censes, the greatest number ever listed in one month fof tliat offense. One driver lost his license tlirough failure to stop at tlw scene of an accident and another ' for driving while his license was revoked, bring ing the total revocations to 56. Sus pensions numbered 14. Eight of the Intoxicated drivers were convicted In Portland courts and 40 in the state at large. Out of the 70 drivers, 19 had either not renewed their old licenses as re quired by law or had never obtained operators' licenses, and while convic tion in only one case was for this offense solely, the number violating requirements of th law Is indicative of the number of unlicensed opera tors in the state. Attention of en forcement officers Is being directed to this condition by the secretary of state's office, in an effort to obtain co-operation in cleaning up the situation.
