DEPUTY SHERIFF
MOTORCYCLE COP
FOR FAIRFIELD

Motorists who speed Through the
town OF Fairfield had better be eau
tious IN the future, or they will come
in the clutches of the law as repre-
scented by Patrick MeGarry, who was
today named a special deputy sheriff
for Fairfield by Sheriff Simeon Pease,
McGarry's special duties will be as a
motorcycle policeman with all of the
authority of a sheriff, and his partic-
ular duty will be to prevent violations
of the traffic laws.
lMcGarry's appointment is made at
the request Of the town of Fairfield
under a statute which gives the sher-
iff power of appointment when such
a request is made. He has all of the
powers of a deputy sheriff, but his
particular duty will he in relation to
traffic. 1t is expected he will patrol
the state roads in Fairfield at all rea-
sonable times, and will prevent much
of the wild driving of automobiles of
which many complaints have been
made. Sunday is especially notable
for the many violations Of the speed
laws, particularly by motorists from
New York.
McGary's appointment is effective
at once and he has already begun
duty.
