DECIDES FATE OF SILENT COP
General Says Traffic Guard
ians May Be Legally Maintained

Robbins B. Stokel, commissioner OF
motor vehicles, recently requested At
torney General Frank +. Healey for
an opinion as to whether silent po-
liceman, set up in the highway, IS or
is not public obstruction, and wheth-
er it may or may not be legally main
tanned.
The question arose when the SUI
preme court sustained decision of
lower court giving plaintiff damages
for injuries by running into one of
the silent men. The matter was aired
in the press, but the full import of the
decision was left obscure for it devel-
oped according to the evidence that
the question was decided upon the ne
elect of city officials to remove or set
up a silent policeman that had tum-
bled down on the job
The substance of the Attorney Gen
erals decision is that the IRON safe
guards to travel may be legally main
tanned. but it is the duty of the town
or city in which they are erected to
use reasonable care to keep the device
in its proper place and see that 1T IS
not displaced or toppled over.
