MANY LAWMAKERS
ARRESTED FRIDAY
Police Spend Active After
noon With Pedestrian
Traffic

An unusually large number of
arrests were made Friday after
noon of persons charged W i t h
walking against the + e d traffic
light.
Captain John H. Davis, officer
in charge of the traffic division,
said officers have been warning
the public for months to obey traf-
fic signals without obtaining proper
cooperation. As the holiday sea-
son approaches with increased pc
destrian and vehicle traffic it will
be necessary to stop violations, he
declared in order to promote pub
lie safety.
Another hazard to traffic, Cap
tain Davis declared, is the unlaw-
full crossing of streets in the mid
die of the block, and this too must
tie corrected without delay. He also
warned drivers making turns at
corners that it is their response
bility to stop before turning, as
pedestrians have the right-of-Way
when walking on the green light.
Captain Davis pointed out that
Il, crossing the street every Sec
ond counts; and while it is I'M
necessary to run, neither is it de-
sirable to lojter. He urged that
each pedestrian keep his eye on
the light and not depend on other
persons waiting to cross to begin

briskly across. Arrests Will con-
tjnue until the traffic hazard IS
eliminated. he said.
