Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York ex rel. Karl B. Scott, Appellant, against Edward Dros, as Warden of the Hart Island Penitentiary of the City of New York, Respondent.

Opinion:
Order unanimously affirmed on the facts and on the law, with $20 costs and disbursements to respondent. It is evident from the commitments as contained in the record that a fine was imposed on the sentence in each of the 87 traffic violations. Therefore, the question as to whether the jail sentences were to run concurrently or consecutively does not arise, since the direction for confinement in each instance was merely the alternative for a failure to comply with the payment of a fine.
