Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen to-

continue its relentless campaign
against traffic violators, at the same
time calling for concentration on three
particular types-Speeders, those who
weave in and out of traffic, and those
who turn from wrong lanes. These
specific offenses, he declared, cause the
largest number of accidents.

Hazen's orders for vigorous contin-
uation of the traffic campaign were
contained in memorandum to Police
Supt. Ernest w. Brown, which COM
mended the department on the result
of the campaign thus far. The drive,
he said, has brought "a decided and
noticeable improvement" in traffic
conditions.
Coupled with the Commissioner
order was warning to the police not
to let their enthusiasm lead to dis
courtesy.
This does not mean that the Of
fcer should be neglectful," Hazen
said, but, on the contrary, that he
should firmly and strictly enforce the
laws and regulations"
The Commissioner also suggested
that police seek the cooperation of
pedestrians and parents of small
children.
