NEW SYSTEM CUTS
TRAFFIC TICKETS
Policemen Said to Be Using
More Discretion in Summon
ing Drivers to Court.

Policemen are handing out fewer
tickets for traffic violations under the
new triplicate system, which became
effective yesterday, a poll of the various
precincts by The Star revealed today.
The reason for the decrease in tag
ging' activities, it was pointed out at
the Traffic Bureau and several precinct
stations. probably Is that officers are
using more discretion than formerly"
Under the new system, which was de-
signed to prevent fixing" warrants
are issued for all motorists who do not
respond to tickets within three days
Consequently, it was explained, police
men want TO be sure the offense justi-
fies arrest before doing any tagging. u
Warrants Due Saturday.
Comparatively few tickets were issued
yesterday it was said, and their effect
will not be definitely known until Sat-
urday, when the first warrants will be
sworn out.

Chinn, radio editor of The Star. broad
cast over Station WJSV last night. In
spector E. w. Brown. assistant superin-

system.
The new traffic summons or ticket

The original, which Is white, is given
to the operator or placed in the car
the duplicate, which Is yellow. is turned
into the precinct or bureau for record
and the triplicate, which is red. is re-

Complete Record Kept.
Every ticket issued must show a
proper disposition Of the charge. All
tickets are numbered, and a complete
record is kept by the department.
The triplicate ticket, we believe. will
eliminate interference or attempts at
so-called fixing of tickets, and every
ticket issued must be responded to and
