ALL MOTOR LAWS TO

(Ry Associated Press)

SACRAMENTO, Calf, April 90
The State Motor Vehicle Department
has begun a period of stringent en-
forcement of vehicle laws, Superinten-
tendent Charles J. Chenu has an
nounced. The law enforcement cam

motorists to run with only one light"
Chenu declared. "This is dangerous
violation of the law"
"The state law has given motorists
another mile of speed but it must be
remembered this is on the open road
where there are no cars. Speeders in
traffic are dangerous and even if they
are travelling Tess than thirty-five
miles an hour are liable to arrest"
