date appropriation Of 100000 to

visions of the resolution.
Under the terms of the resolu.

Gated today, but declined to say
just HON much has been slashed
from the total estimates.
While the Commissioners are
favorably inclined to grant addi-

are in the position, according to
Donovan, Of a man who wants to
spend $500 but only has $500 In
actual cash, and the District, unlike
the individual is not in a position to
run up a charge account.

Major Pratt Explains Big Increase in Traffic Arrests
MANY FORFEIT
COLLATERAL
At STATION

Anticipating more sor less
derogatory comment on the in
creased number of arrests
since the new collateral sys-
tenn has been in force, Major
G. Pratt, superintendent
of police, today made clear
the position of the department.
Protests have been received that If
arrests continue in the same proper
ton one-fifth of the population of the
District will have been arrested in
side of year.
''I will admit that there have be 4
more. traffic arrests since the new
system has been in force" said
Major Pratt, "blt this can be readily
explained. There were more than
1000 persons in the month who
elected to forfeit collateral at the
station. This permitted number of
policemen to patrol their beats in
stead of staying in court and as a
result there were many more viola
tons which ZANE to their attention.
ut must be remembered that the
police department has certain regu-
lations, promulgated by the Com
missioners, that it is the duty of
the office to endorce. I would be
derelict in my own duty if did not
see that the regulations are en-
forced.
I'm many of these forfeitures,
would say the majority were in
cases where tickets have been left
in automobiles"
Major Pratt has never been in
favor of any wholesale arrest cam
paign, but as long as the regula
tons are on the books, those who
violate them will have to suffer
