Gillespie Wants Sepa-
rate Tribunal For
Traffic ViolatOrs
WORKS WELL
IN NEW YORK
Aid. Lodge Endorses
Police Commission
er's Suggestion

An ordinance court, where viola.
tors Of trafic and other city laws
can be dealt with. is favored by
Police Commissioner John Gillespie.
The commissioner would have
his officers make direct service OF
summons on violators. instead OF
going through the uncertain formal
ity OF making complaints and then
obtaining service on the speed fiends
and careless drivers.
II is stated on good authority that
out OF every 50 complaints made by
the police against traffic violators.
only 10 on an average are actually
brought into court and fined. Al
dermen and other city officials
spend much OF their time trying 10
keep their automobiles friends out
of trouble.
In several OF the larger cities
traffic and ordinance courts have
been established. The work Of
handling ordinance complaints is ex-
pedited in these courts. There is
a fixed scale of fines for each class
OF ordinance violations. Each sue
ceeding time an offender is brought
before the court, he is more severe
ly dealt with. Offenders are not al
lowed 10 beg of. nor can influential
friends intercede for them. In this
way motorists especially are taught
more strict observance OF regula-
tons that are enacted for the pro
lection OF the general public.
"In New York many cases are
handled each day in the ordinance
court said Commissioner Gillespie.
The idea OF having the officer
serve the summons on the violator
directly, is great time-saver all
the way around.
IF a man violates a traffic ordi-
nance he knows that II he is caught
1t will cost him some money. Each
day the list of cases, together with
the name and address OF the often
der and the amount of fine paid Is
published in the newspapers.
