Registration Of
Cars For First
Quarter is Good
SALEM, Ore. (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while his license was revoked, bring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.
