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.

The Political
Situation Here
—30i—
The past week, various comments
about town has been heard in regard
to the election of school directors this
coming fall.
It seems that F. F. Morris will con-
sent to become a candidate as his
many friends feel that he is entitled
to re-election. However, several can-
didates are expected to be in the field
when the time comes. This column
advances the name of George Gaert-
ner as one who could and would be
an excellent director.
The Burgess Situation
‘The only name heard about town
in regard to the burgess fight since
the declaration of retiring from Bur-
gess Anderson, is that of R. Harold
Rood, borough secretary.

Plans Being w
Made Here for
Semi-Centennial
—0:—
Plans for the observance of the
borough semi-centennial, which falls
due on April 21, are beginning to take
definite form, although in the absence
of some central committee progress
by the several interested persons and |
organizations has been rather vague. |
A proclamation by Burgess J. H. An-
derson, who is considered one of the
most capable men in the borough
along organization lines, is expected
in the near future, after which no
doubt more definite plans will be an-
nounced. ;
So far three events have been defi-
nitely announced for anniversary
week. The Little Theatre will pre-
sent a play in the new high school
auditorium on Thursday evening,
April 18. Public dedication of the
new school building will be held on
Saturday afternoon, April 20, and the
Dr. Henry M. Laing Fire Company
will hold a dance and general social
time on the same evening. With the
exception of the churches, it is not
considered that much celebration will
date, which falls on Sunday.

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.
