Traffic Arrests, Convictions Up; City Parking Lot Urged.

A sharp improvement in traffic law enforcement during the first four months of this year with a concurrent drop in fatalities was cited by Mayor Sullivan’s Traffic Advisory Committee yesterday. The improvement coincided with the committee's attack on the traffic problem in March, an assault which | began with a ‘stinging report on trafic law enforcement, particularly in the courts. _ Discussion of the tightening of’ enforcement followed the submission of a subcommittee report on parking yesterday which urged: | 1. The establishment of municipal parking lots downtown to relieve parking congestion. 2. Encouragement of more private

lots and garages. 3. Elimination of double parking

during rush hours.

4, The establishment of a uni? form time limit for parking, to supersede - several different limits !now in force. The new limit should not exceed 46 minutes. i This report was adopted by the committee after its presentation by | Paul Robertson, chairman of the ! subcommittee on parking.

Tobin Figures Cited

Dr. R. N. Harger, chairman of the _ enforcement subcommittee

fic engineer and cafeteria court have been adopted at City Hall, cited Police Department figures to support the observation that enforcement has improved. Fatalities

during the four-month period were cut in half. According to the statistics, 56 per cent of the alleged violators in Court 3 during March and April received fines. This compared to only 35 per cent fined during January and February. In Court 4, 63 per cent of those

March and April as compared to 50 per cent in the first two months of the year.

Withheld Judgments Drop

Withheld judgments also declined sharply in both courts—from 39 per cent of the total found guilty to 8 per cent in Court 3 and from 26 per cent to 5 per cent in Court 4. The number of cases handled in Court 3 rose from 1299 to 1821; in Court 4, from 1607 to 2289. Arrests multiplied from 1683 in January and 1341 in February to 1874 in April and the number of traffic violators punished month by month was 797 in January, 475 in February, 1419 in Mareh and 1096 in April. May figures have not been made available by the Police Department. City traffic fatalities beginning with five in January rose to eight in Pebruary, then declined to six in March and three in April—the period covered by police enforcement figures.

Community Helped

“I think a good deal of this improvement may be attributed to the effort of this committee and the publicity attending it,” said Dr. Harager. “However, I would not like to see’ any slackening in this improvement which may happen if the committee does not remain on
