been practiced for many years is
illegal
Hereafter. the speeding motorist
may be saved s1.40, unless the fine
is raised, which amount is said to
have gone into the pockets of the

affects all policemen, the city and

general says theI is no law to
warrant collection of fees for state
arrests by officers receiving a reg

In submitting his ruling, Mr.
Brundage states that he is not
aware of any law which gives the
city policeman the right to collect
