Traffic Judges
Urged for DC.
Advisory Council Also
Recommends Further
Porking Restrictions


had before them proposal by the
Traffic Advisory Council calling for
legislation to abolish the present
system of rotating judges in the
traffic branch of Police Court and
to appoint two members of an en-
larged Police Court bench to handle
only traffic court and traffic Jury
trial cases.
Meeting last night at the Dis
trict Building, the council urged
appointment of an additional Judge
to Police Court and directed that
the two jurists designated to try
only traffic cases be assigned to
that duty for a period of not less
than one year.
In making it's request, the council
reaffirmed a position taken about a
year ago and in effect, seconded a
similar resolution adopted Monday
by the Traffic Committee of the
Board of Trade.
See Efficiency in Plan.
"One qualified traffic Judge, ex-
perienced in the handling of traffic
cases. the councils resolution read
in part, "and equipped with SUBJ
stantial knowledge of safety
work and kept continuously on the
traffic bench, can do a job on behalf
of traffic safety second to none"
The resultant more speedy disposal
OF cases, it was pointed out, would
cut to minimum the time police
must spend in court waiting for
cases to be called, thus increasing
the number of police on the streets.

ulations approved by the group was
