LONDON TRAFFIC VIOLATORS GET POLITE NOTICE By J. C. Oestreicher * INS Staff Correspondent London. —A now verdict for first offenders—“ Naughty, naughty, don't do it again," has been inaugurated by the I andon police for dealing with violators of traffic ordinances. In the future, motorists guilty of trivial offenses, provided they have not been summoned before, will not be fined, but will merely receive a politely-worded printed notice from tile Commissioner of Police warning them not to offend again. Relieves Courts The new policy, it is anticipated, Wi'l relieve to a large extent the pressure of work at London police courts, and It is hoped that it will prove a sufficient check to further violations. ' Motoring offenses have increased by leaps and bounds in the last few ■years, and the courts have been seriously handicapped in their efforts to deal with them. In 1921 there were 42.729 cases, and last year, there were no fewer than 79,834. The majority were minor cases, such as driving on the wrong side of the street or parking too long in one place. The warnings will not he issued for dangerous dtiving in any, form, and will give the police more time to concentrate on the serious offenders. They will also lessen the chance of a second offender escaping, for a careful record of every warning issued will lie kept. Only Experiment The new decision is latgely byway of experiment, and its success depends a great deal on the support given to the police by al! classes of drivers. At the same time as the warning st heme was announced, the police deportment stated that it was starting a new war on "noisy" machines. The use of a muffler cut out is one of the most serious traffic offenses here, as the police have made every effort to dispense with unnecessary noises. S nth Rend. —(U.R) —South Bend's wealth increased $6,078,521 from March 1, 1927 to March 1. 1928 according- to a report issued by Joseph Voorder, township assessor.
