Traffic Bills Opposed
McAdoo Says They Would
Take Away Powers of Police

Chief Magistrate McAdoo and Special
Deputy Police Commissioner j. A.
Harriss, in charge Of traffic regulation,
held a conference yesterday concern
ing what the chief magistrate declared
was an attempt to lcgislatc away the
right Of the police to make traffic regu-
lations and TO abolish speed ordinances
and the Traffic Court IN New York.
These ends would be accomplished,
said Magistrate McAdoo, by three bills.
One was introduced by Senator Elon
R. Brown several weeks ago. and pro-
vides for the trial in Special Sessions
Of all violations of the general high
way traffic 1t was not opposed by inc
city authorities because this city was
exempt from its provisions.
Two bills which were introduced by
Assemblyman c. f. Welsh, of Albany,
on Thursday, Magistrate McAdoo said
put an entirely different aspect upon
Senator Browns bill. One of the AS
sembly bills cancels New Yorl'S cxemp-
ton from the general state Highway
law, he explained, and the other for
bade the city to make it's own traffic
regulations. The Traffic Court would
be rendered useless by the passage of
the bills, Magistrate McAdoo pointed
out, and the state, instead of the city
would receive the fines collected there
