new FISCAL YEAR
Police Court Fines Exceed
Those Of Previous
Years
AMOUNT TO s9,244.5O
Mayor Fisher Collects s30,742.43 For
City Licenses During Same Period
Cf Time.

The city's fiscal year closed yester-
day. The exhibits showing the receipts
and expenditures Of the various de-
partlnents will be presented to the
City Council during the present month
and printed in due time.
The year 19l9-1920 was banner
year in the history of the police court,
the receipts from fines amounting TO
$9,244.50. as follows:
June, Ss49; July, S97l 80; August,
sS75.G5; September, $743.50: October
s1.O5O; November, $S27.5O; December,
30; January, $40; February.
1851; March, s552; April. s94S.s5;
May, 1921.
As has heretofore heen stated, Il
large percertage of fines were I'M
posed upon parties who violated the
traffic laws in one way or another.
1t may here be stated that the new
traffic law which has passed both
boards of the City Council imposes
additional requirements upon all per-
sons operating vehicles of any sort in
the city OF Alexandria. The penalties
required are greater than under the
old law.
During the same period Mayor
Fisher collected S30,742 A3 in licen-
ses. which is also record sum from
that source
tt may be said passing. that dur
;ng the past two score years many
ordinances have been passed by the
CITY Council which have not been en-
forced as rigidly as they might have
been. A large percentage are in rela-
ton to sanitary requirements, while
scme are designed to eliminate annoy
arccs of certain sorts.
The city starts today upon its new
wear under auspicious conditions. Most
of the present officials have long been
in the harness. she electorate select
ing them to succeed themselves as
their terms expire. The silent reaper
has not made serious roads into their
ranks, ard where some have recently
laid. down tie burdens of life worthy
successors have been chosen.
