 Police Arrest
 The Torrington police department is constantly building up It's recoro of arresting all violators of motor vehicle laws, speed Violators being the most sought after.
 At present the record is l23 since July lst, when the drive began Fourteen drivers were nabbed over the week end.
 Heretofore those brought into the city court to answer a ticket given them for excessive speeding within the city limits, had their charges chaneed to rules of the road, the difference being that with the for mer charge they would be fined in addition to the costs of the court, and perhaps their license would be suspended, while the latter charge only necesitated nolling of fines im- posed with the accused paying the court costs. All this was changed by ruling of Judge James F. Ho- gan, of city court, that no charges would be changed and positively no favoritism would be shown to any brought into court to answer charges having to do with violation of any motor vehicle laws. The reason for this decision, according to the judge, was that an example was necessary for those who are tempted$ to violate motor vehicle laws.
