MUNICIPAL COURT
MAY EXPERIMENT
LIKELY to Impose More Severe
Penalties for the Reckless
Driving Of Autos.

In n communication dated August 4
and addressed to Councilman McNabo.
which he presented to City Council
lAst night. Judge Hastings OF the Mu-
nicipal Court, replied to statements
made by Mr.. McNahb on August with
respect to the dcsirabillty OF making
scms effort to prevent the reckless
driving OF automobiles in Wilmington.
Judge Hastings said the Municipal
Court can be much more severe than
n Sta present practice without addi-
tional law and he 10 willing to take
Councils hint and try 1t for a time
and zee whether II is any real help.
Mr., McNsbb stated he did not criti-
cize the Municipal Court. but main
tained the automobile law should be
more drastic. Council filed the COM
munication. which was as follows:

by you with respect to the desirability
OF making some effort to prevent the
reckless driving OF automobiles In WILL

"Your remarks were apparently ap-
proved by at least several other mem-
pers OF City Council. Suggestion was
made that additional laws should be
passed providing for more severe pun
ishment.

Tho administration Of tho automo-

things that tho judges Of tho Municipal
Court have presented to them. There

strict endorsement OF this law. but
you must realize that to strictly en-
force It would mean great traffic con-
gestion. / have always taken the po-
s]tion that the police officer should not
arrest a man merely for exceeding the
speed limit. but should arrest him
whom tho speed at which he is driving
makes OF him a reckless driver. It Is
recklessness and not speeding that !
think should be punished.
III I am correct in this matter, 1t
becomes a difiicult question frequent
ly for the police officer and for the
Judge. Judge Churchman adopted q
uniform practice OF fning a man $25
and costs. That practice. in my judg-

an hour with more safety than the
same man at another time Of day could
drive the same machine at IL or is
miles an hour. In tho judgment of
one police officer. he should be ar
rested; in the judgment Of another, he
should not. So great hardship might
come to him because he happened to
meet an officer OF ono mind instead OF
another.
"As to drivers Of automobiles while
Intoxicated, have almost uniformly
imposed the maximum fine OF 500 and
have in a few instances imposed a Jail
sentence. In a very few the fine has
been below 500.
II agree that no mercy can be shown
