Secretary Stuart, Highway Secretary, Clarifies Ruling On Motor Arrests “Persons arrested ‘under the Motor Vehicle Code on charges other than a misdemeanor or felony have the priv- ilege of giving the officer a written promise to appear later at a hearing and need not go for hearing immedi- ately after arrest,” James Lyall . Stuart, Secretary of the Pennsyl- ‘vania Department of Highways re- minded motorists yesterday. “I have been informed that many ~ officers violate Section 1207 of the Vehicle Code, failing to give the ar- rested motorist an opportunity to make written promise to appear. This provision was incorporated in the Code because many persons on long trips or on hurried business trips can-| “not afford to lose several hours of the day to attend the hearing. “The written promise to appear is not a special privilege extended by the arresting officer but the motor- ist’s own privilege unless he elects to demand an immediate hearing. Offi- cers who fail in their duty by viola- tion of this section are liable to charges of misdemeanor in office with a heavy penalty. x “A motorist who furnishes his writ- ten promise to appear must keep it when he receives the summons, which will be at least five days after the ar- rest. Failure to keep the promise is punishable by a fine of $75 or ten days both,” the Highway Secretary concluded. imprisonment or Aged Alderson Man Is Killed Near No. 14 —— SO eee A hit-and-run- driver, on Monday, Killed John M.

Have Opposition For Special Police —:01— Judges Coughlin, Fine and Valen- tine, setting as a court in banc Thurs- day, listened to arguments for new trials in several common pleas and quarter sessions cases on motions for new trials, exceptions, appeals, peti- tions and arrest of judgment. De- cisions were reserved. There was an interesting argument on the petition of the Harvey’s Lake Protective Association and certain citizens of Lake and Lehman Town- ship for the appointment of special policemen and deputy constables for these municipalities for the coming year, appointments to be made by the court. | The petition requests the ap- pointment of five deputy constables at a salary of $50 a month for the] year, one policeman at a salary of $125 a month for a year and three policemen at $125 a month to serve during May, June, July, August and September. ; Attorney G. J. Clark, representing certain property owners in both townships, opposed the petition, holding that there is no law for the regulation of such a police force, and that it would be a burden to the tax- payers. Attorney F. A. McGuigan, representing Harvey's Lake Pro- tective Association, argued that the court had the right to make the ad- pointment and thaa special police force is necessary to maintain law and order at the Harvey's Lake sum- mer resort. The total cost of the special police force is fixed at $3,000 annually, of which $2,000 would be assessed against Lake Township and $1,000 against Lehman Township. The | court took the matter under advise- ment. 10: DALLAS BRIEFS ] Ye 10t— FLORIDA MOTOR TRIP Tre O =" Miss Mary Still, of Fernbrook, company with Mr. and Mrs. i n Fred | Smith, left last Saturday for a piv or trip and vacation in Florida.
