Forfeited Bonds
Not Good Unless
Complaint is Filed

Corporation Counsel Baker. answering
Police Judge Fosters request for an
opinion, holds that the city cannot for
felt bonds for nonappearance when no
complaint is filed against the person ar
rested. 49,
1t has been the police court practice to
hold men and women arrested under cash
bonds for appearance for trial. but fire.
quently no complaint is made, although
the bonds have been invariably forfeited
and have gone TO replenish the police re-
lief fund.
Judge Baker holds that not only can
the person arrested recover the amount
Of the bond whether he appears or not,
but such bond money heretofore for
feited can now be recovered.
At rough estimate the money secured
in this manner will approximate a,Ooo a
month. An average of thirty arrests are
made daily and a small percentage OF
these forfeit their bonds through non
appearance, although no complaints are
filed against them.
