Governor Stratton endorses the merit system as the best for the Illinois State Police and urges retention. He orders the new police chief to consider a highway speed limit to reduce fatalities. The state reports $30,000 in highway sign losses in 1952 due to vandalism and notes 15 percent of marker maintenance costs.
