pleed an examination. DR.. Griffin
finds Farmer legally sane and IL
able to prosecution for his actions.

sary. At present Farmer Is In the

5,644 convictions, a loss Of eighty
six cases nolled, an increase Of $6l, :
730.51 in original fines levied re-
sillting- after deducting RENTED
Portions of fines-in a net increase
in dollar penalties Of $47,860.22 and
an increase Of $46,938.66 in costs
collected.
The Motor Vehicle Department
received only court abstracts when
convictions have been secured.
Hence, the above comparison can
not show the increase In arrests or
cases presented. Presumably this
must have been in proportion else
the courts are displaying marked
tendency TO regard motor vehicle
violations with more concern than
during the preceding year.
The report covers county totals
and town totals. Wellington, Ash
ford, Scotland and Bethlehem were
the only towns In the state not re-
porting conviction In their re-
spective courts. All four are COM
paratively small communities al
though roads through their areas Go
carry considerable traffic.
