the new board of police commissioners

| suit two arrests were made today by
Policeman Kerns and the minimum fine
of 81 In each case was imposed by the
court Those charged with failing to
keep to the right in turning a corner
were Moses Stevens, colored, and Henry
S,sson.
Members of the police department have
recently been busily engaged in the
work of instructng drivers regarding
new traffic regulations and 1t was
stated that Stevens had been informed
only an hour prior to his arrest regard
ing the rules.
In the opinion of the authorities a few
arrests with the imposition of a nomi-
nal fine will prove more ef1cacious than
all the instru lions that may be given.
