Growth Impressive.
This healthy growth Of the fund is
particularly impressive. since the re-

makes the total of contributions and
interest last year $32, 929. 044.69.

which Mr.. Alcorn secured from Earl D.

Clark Complains That Traffic

Chief Is Reminded That Similar
Charges Had Brought Pledge Of
City Heads to Stop Action.

Complaint that trafic of1cers were
hiding on side streets with lights ex-
ttnguished, resorting to 'subterfuge" in
enforcing the law. was registered with
Supt. of Police Henry G. Pratt today by
Charles P. Clark, general manager OF
the American Automobile Association.
The A. A. A. executive reminded the
chief of police that a previous similar
complaint had brought response from
the Board of Commissioners with prom
Uses to stop the practice, but that judg-
ing from the number of complaints
being registered by motorists the Irac-
tice again was being INDUCED in"
Organization Opposes Action.
Mr.. Clark declared that his organiza-
ton unalterably was opposed to the
practice and took the position that Law
enforcement officers engaged in en-
forcing the traffic laws should be in full
uniform and in plain sight at all times
The letter to Supt. Pratt follows:
Many complaints are being brought
70 the attention of the American Auto
mobile Association, in which 1t is
charged that officers of the Metropolitan
Police force engaged in traffic enforce
ment are hiding up side streets with
lights extinguished, in violation of the
law. in order to apprehend motorists
passing on the main streets.
Under date OF August 10, 1928, this
practice was called to the attention OF
the Board of Commissioners by this or
Sanization and under date Of August %
we received a letter from the secretary
Of the Board of Commissioners. two par
agraphs of which quote as follows:
Police Policy Is Cited.
ct am directed by the Commissioner
to further acknowledge your two COM
munications of August 10 and is and to
say that report has been received from
the major and superintendent of police
wherein he states that the policy of the
Police Department is to have its men,
bers show themselves clearly on the
highway. looking to the prevention OF
themselves and thus possibly encourage
violations The Commissioners are In
accord with this policy.
Members of the police force will be
reminded, however, that in the interest
nf good administration the policy of the
Commissioners and the Police Depart
ment, is to deter violations of the traf1c
regulations rather than detect violations
by concealment or other subterfuge, and
that this result can best be obtained by
traffic officers remaining in plain view
on the public highways and keeping of
their respective mounts lighted in &C
cordance with existing regulations
In view of the policy expressed in
this communication, I am taking the
liberty Of inviting your attention to the
fact that 1t would seem from the num-
her Of complaints being received by this
office that this practice Is again being
INDUCED in by certain members Of the
Metropolitan Police force"
