But the de- partment did and it took only oae man in the person of Officer Houli-/ han to do it. Green parked his car Thursday the wrong way, the two front wheels being against the curb and the ear being at the wrong angle, according to police. Officer Houlihan left a card in his motor car telling| him where to report for violation of the traffie ordinance. When Green came out and found the card in his car, he threw it into the street. Then he crossed the street and parked his car in the same identical way only he left his motor running making two direct violations aftér being warned and told of the first violation. Offiger Houlihan took him in charge after seeing this escapade. Nearing the police station Green said he could not be put in jail. But in jail he went and stayed there un- til a lawyer provided bond. But in being’ placed in jail he resisted an| officer. He was charged with re-| sisting an officer and violation of the traffic rules yesterday before Judge W. E. Tubbs, who fined him $10. Three ether motor car drivers could not stay “within” the rules and regulations regarding traffic, and paid $5 fines each. Two ministres, a Mr. Manthoos and Mr. Graybeal, re- spectively, along with Bill Lawrence paid their fines and were warned of further and more severe punishment if they continued as violators.
