They call for a three-story reisforced concrete building, trimmed in brick and limestone, and fireproof throughout, Dr. Harvey said. Joe Wildermuth of Gary is the architect.

In forming the unique court, Mayor Smith said he believed boys are “more conversant with juvenile traffic problems than are adults” and could impose more understandable justice among those of their own age. He declared the youths may restrict the violators from using their bicycles “for any length of time” and have the power to impose fines. The court’s orders will be enforced by the City police, the Mayor said. “Judge” Daley promised to be severe “if the case calls for severe measures.” - “If it’s serious enough, I'll fine them $1 and take their bicycles away for a week,” he said.

Four Faults Listed

The faults most liable to draw the heaviest fines were listed by the “judge” as: 1. Dodging in and out through

Mrs. Ray Giles of 1523 Sheldon St., was hurt when her husband’s car collided with an automobile driven by Alvia Meshew, Orange, Conn, at West and Washington Sts.

Boys to Conduct

La Porte ‘Traffic’ Court LA PORTE, Aug. 19 (U. P.).—Two boys trooped into Mayor Alban Smith’s office today to learn a few slants on legal procedure they will

need in acting as judge and prosecutor for the Mayor's new “traffic” court for juveniles. Joseph Daley, 14-year-old high school junior, will be judge, and Dunham, 12, an eighth grader, prosecutor. Mayor Smith, said they would rule “exclusively” in the special court which will function as & branch of the Municipal Court, imposing fines and restrictions on youths found guilty of violating city traffic regulations with their bicycles. “It will meet once a week to try

Of course, the City Attorney, Police Chief and myself will be there to coach them.” “Prosecutor” Dunham, a sturdy little blond, will read the charge and then his pal will hear the accused youth's story. One of the first sentences he will impose, he said, is a trip through hospitals where boys and girls injured in bicycle accidents are recovering. : Mayor Smith has not decided what he will do if one of the violators appeals his sentence. He said “when we

Mayor Smith selected the boys on recommendation of Boy Scout Commissioner Charles B. Roberts. They are two of the leading Scouts in the city.
