PENALTY FOR TURNING
In FALSE FIRE ALARMS
Amendment to Increase Fine
Has Been Submitted.
Also Provides for Imprisonment in the
Workhouse for Not More Than
Twelve Months.

Messrs. Francis Frye and Daniel
Curry. appointed as committee on the
revision of the police regulations. have
submitted a report to the District Com
| missioners on the draft of a bill, ITO
| punish persons using the District of CO.
| lumbia fire alarm boxes or fire alarm
wires to send in false alarms of fire and
for other purposes" The bill was sub
| mitted by Chief Engineer Robert W. Dut-
ton. of the Fire Department.
while we appreciate fully the annoy
ance. expense and dangers incident to
answering such false alarms" says :he
committeeman. I'VE believe the Commits
sioners have authority to. and may, by no
lice regulation. prescribe such penalties
as would adequately punish the crimes
referred to in the proposed act.
Present Penalty Deemed Sufficient.
"The prosecuting attorney of the Po-
lice Court and the Judge presiding over
the District branch thereof think the
present penalty, the maximum fine being
$40. is sufficient and state that the i'm
position Of this fine has the effect of de-
terring the offender from ever commit
ting the offence again. II the fine may
amount to $50 or more the defendant
would be entitled to jury trial.
This would not only be an additional
expense to the District. but it might be
thought that in some cases the chances
Of the offender to escape punishment
might be increased, because Of the fact
that turies might not be easily impressed
with the necessity for so severe penalty
being inflicted as the judge, who has been
imposing the maximum penalty Of late.
Penalty for Aggravated Cases.
However. the Chief Engineer. who Is |
the official most concerned. believes that
many Of the offenders should be punished |
more severely in the first instance, and |
certainly SO should the offence be repeat |
ed. Therefore we have provided a much |
heavier maximum penalty, sufficient, We |
think. to punish the most aggravated |
cases, in a tentative amendment to Sec /
tion Of article II Of the police regula-
tions. which we submit herewith
I'm the proposed amendment we have
incorporated the provision suggested oy
the major and superintendent of police
for the punishment of persons making
false reports of crimes having been COM
mitted or attempted. with some slight al +
terations from the original draft which
we have deemed 1t expedient to make"
The penalty in the amendment proposed
is fine of not less than S. nor more than
5000. or imprisonment in the workhouse
Of the District for not more than twelve
or both
The report has been forwarded to Com.
missioner Macfarland, who has super
vision of the Fire Department.
