B=14 == PN TIAET PLAN - HOLDS COOD HER i bride Says Traffic Summons iSystem Banned in Boston Is § for Drivers’ Convenience. : Washington police will continue as wsual to serve “pink tickets” for over- parking and other infractions of g:e traffic regulations, Corporation Counsel William W. Bride said today in commenting on yesterday's ruling of the Superior Court in Boston that tick- ets to be legal must be served on the driver in person. The decision was said to have quashed about 10,000 cases hanging fire in Bos- ton, where a test case was made, but there is nothing in the Boston ruling, ‘District officials said, that changes con- @itions in Washington. 1 Personal Service Required. * Mr. Bride said that the law in the District requires personal service on rivers and no District official has ever juestioned in during the long years is method has been practiced. For ghat reason, he said, no attempt has @ver been made to test the law in court. * The “pink-ticket” method, he ex- ed, was adopted and has been eontinued solely for the convenience Bf_motorists. « “But if a driver fails to take notice of a ticket in his car,” he said, “the man can go to Police Court, swear out a warrant for him and go the driver's house at 3 ’clock in the rning and compel him to go to the inct station and remain thace til his appearance in court.” - Device Is Convenience. = A warrant can be procured also, he Feminded, when a motorist fails to a ticket served on him personally y an officer. * “No one contends that the practive fiissmng tickets constitutes legal serv- that will stand up in court,” Mr. ride sald, “but there is nothing to revent an officer from swearing out a avarrant. The practice is just a time ver for the convenience of the driver d the police.” BOSTON PARKERS WIN. | — | ® BOSTON, November 13 (#).—The old game of “tag, you're it,” with a traffic | officer usually on the winning end, has | ‘been changed in Boston to “hide and Gek." with the motorists having the ughs. = As a result of a ruling by Superior Fourt Judge Ernest E.
