In accordance with the above policy we have, during the past four | years, issued 7,786 warnings as compared with 448 arrests. With the exception of one fatality, we have been exceedingly fortunate in 1 having no serious traffic accidents within the city limits during the ' past four years. During 1936 there were only three arrests for reck- , less driving and one for driving I while intoxicated, all of which were disposed of in city police court. We do not take full credit for this record, for while we keep a close watch for reckless drivers and traffic violators we also have the assistance of the Oregon State Police officers in this vicinity and enjoy full cooperation of Supt. Charles P. Pray and Capt. Lee M Bown, who is in charge of the Ashland district. We also appre ciate the cooperation of Ashland citizens who, with a few excep tions, are very careful drivers.
