STATE Police arrests for speeding during the first quarter of 1975 were sharply up, reports Colonel H. W. Burgess, the Department’s Superintendent.

Colonel Burgess noted that these arrests numbered 53,322, a substantial increase over the 28,664 and 31,960 for the same periods of 1973 and 1974. He said 1975 speeding arrests, which include all types of speed violations and not only those of the 55 mile per hour limit, numbered 16,261 in January, 17,295 in February and 19,766 in March.

Deaths for the first three months of 1973 numbered 258, for 1974 227 and for 1975 220. Traffic volumes for the 1975 period were about six percent above those for the same period of 1974.
