of Good's bridge in the northeastern

suiting in a loss to the taxpayers as
well as being a menace to the safety
of the highways is the conclusion
reached by Judge E. J. iNoble after a
careful survey of the court records of
the past six months. A large revenue
from the fines, which could be collect
ed from violators is being overlooked,
the judge points out, and the large
majority of the violations are going
unpunished.
The judge's figures show that from
August to February, the total fines
were $765, ranging from $195 in De
cember to $40 in January. During
this time R. E. Wagy, the county
court's deputy was patroling the
roads, but half of the arrests during
this time the judge's records credit
to the sheriff's office and state men.
During the past month there has
been no county man on the job, but
the state squad, during its occasional
runs through the county has made a
number of arrests. During the first
16 days in March the total fines were
$355, illustrative the judge points out,
of what an efficient traffic officer, de
voting his whole time to local work,
could accomplish.
During the first 16 days of March,
$90 has been collected for speed vio
lations, $125 for overloading, $25 for
no headlights, $7o for trucks with too
small tires and $45 from cars run
ning without proper licenses.
"The highways," says Judge Noble,
"should be made safe for travel in
stead of being a prey to constant vio
lation. Every feature of the motor
vehicle law is being violated every 1-
day. State traffic officers worsing
