THE DANIELSVILLE MONITOR, DANIELSVILLE, GEORGIA. ATLANTA MAKES WAR ON CARELESS 129 CASES MADE IN ONE DAY ON TRAFFIC VIOLATORS—ARE AFTER SPEEDERS STATE NEWSJF INTEREST Brief News items Gathered Here And There From All Sections Of The State Atlanta. —With a record of 120 ar rests made in a single day in the crusade against traffic law violators, the Atlanta police continued their campaign, encouraged by announce ments that the DeKalb county police, like the Fulton county police, would assist in patrolling streets and roads on the outskirts of the city. During the campaign which has been under way for a few days, the local police have made 334 cases for alleged violation of the traffic laws, in 101 of which speeding has been ( charged. Forty-eight cases docketed during the drive were aired in record er’s court with the result that 43 of the defendants drew fines ranging from $5 to $25 and only rive cases were dismissed. Fines assessed at that one session of the court for traf fic violations netted the city $560. New orders issued to the police in structing them to enforce the city ordinances against jay - walking and bright headlights on automobiles, were put into effect and accounted, in part, for the record number of traffic cases made during the day. While the police records do not reveal the num ber of cases made for jay walking and bright headlights, many such are said to be included under the blanket “V. T. O.’’ charge, which means viola tion of the traffic ordinance and which was docketed against 86 persons. Specific charges were made in 46 cases, speeding being charged against 34 automobilists, reckless driving against 11, and operating an automo bile while intoxicated against one. Although the Fulton county police announced they would jail all persons arrested for speeding on the highways, ho one had been lodged in the tower on that charge. Special details of motorcycle offi cers, however, continued to patrol the roads under orders from Chief George Mathieson to capture and “take to the tower” anyone caught speeding.

There must be a limit. The criminally-inclined must be taught that punishment is certain and that the taking of hiiman life in Georgia will be severely punished.

During the past year the number registered increased by 2,853- 802 vehicles, a greater increase than in any preceding year. This increase, which is 187,000 reg istrations greater than the gain in anj other year, means that the public de mand for road improvement, already strong, will be strengthened, and a more general use of the road, panic ularly in a business and commercial way, will result. As indicative of the commercial trend motor truck registra tions now total over one and one-halt million, the hundred-thousand mark having been passed in New York, Ohio and Illinois, and the iifty-thonsand mark in Indiana, Massachusetts, Mich igan, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Total registrations now exceed one million in California, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. While the owners of motor vehicles are insistent in their demand for more and better roads, the statistics show that they are bearing a very consider able share of the cost of the roads, especially of the cost of maintenance of the state highways. Gross receipts from registration fees, together with the licenses of drivers, chauffeurs, etc. amounted to $188,900,000, or 23 times the amount derived from this source in 1913. During the same period mo tor vehicle registrations have increased 12 times. In 35 states a gasoline tax, ranging from one to four cents per gallon, is imposed. Revenue from this source, amounting to $36,300,000, is spent very largely for highway purposes. This revenue will be materially increased in 1924, since in many states such taxes have been in effect only a few months. Past experience seems to indicate that registrations will continue to in crease materially during the present year. There is no doubt that road construction will continue at about the same rate which has been maintained for the past two years. Much of this construction will be on roads never before improved.
