Bargain Day was observed in court this morning and auto drivers who were arraigned before Justice A, H. Condell for driving on the highway without having rear lights on their machines were let off at cut rates, the tax levied against each totalling $1.85. The court also announced ths inauguration of a new policy in deal- ing with motorists who are arrested for a breach of the statutes and in future those who show that they were making an honest effort to live up to the law will'get off lightly, the justice imposing a fine of $1 with the officer’s fee of 85¢c added. Neithey the justice or the grand juror wiil take.-pay for their services. The new rule was put in force this | morning when George C. Rogers cf New Britain, Adam J. Rukoski of Bristol and W. E. Savage of Meriden put’'in an appearance. All three ad- mitted that the officer “had the goods | on them” and they confessed tha‘ technically they : were guilty.. Here- tofore the court has taxed convicted autoists $6.01 but this morning it was announced that the fees of both Justice Condell and Grand Juror Gwil- lim would be permitted, both serving without compensation. Savage claimed that he had had | considerable . trouble with his lamp and had stopped several times to light it. He had no defense to make. Ro- gers and Rukoski were in the me boat. They had no knowledge that their lamps were not burning until the officer stopped them. ¥ Justice Condell stated that auto cases were getting to be a nuisance | to the court. He did not wish motor- | ists to think that the local authon- tles were conducting ,the campaign | for the money there was in it and he announced that he would try re- mitting the court fees. 1If that does not prove successful something else will have to be done. Prosecutor Gwillim stated that of late he has really been ashamed to take the money for bringing cases | against the automobile drivers. He admitted that most of the men who have been brought before the court have shown that they were making an ' honest effort to live up to the law and were simply unfortunate enough | to be caught by the officer. After court Constable Marino ax-| plained that he is having considera- ble trouble with some autbists who refuse to stop when he hails them. As the rear lights on their cars are extinguished he is able to get the numbers in .only a few cases and as a result the drivers make a success- ful getaway. i Prosecutor Gwillilm declared that if this continues a motor cycle will he secured to catch the men attempting to evade responsibility. In cases where the drivers refuse to heed thz officer, Justice Condell stated that the penalty will be severe if a con- viction is obtained. Bristol Gets a Justice. ‘The Bristol police continue to com- pete strongly with Constable Marino for the record for arresting autoistsy During . the past four weeks thirty-. seven cases have been brought into court' in the neighboring city. This is ahead of the record established by the local policeman but he seems to be making steady headway and any let-up on the part of the Bristol cops will put him in the lead. Last evehing Bristol's finest nabbed a justice of the peace and a deputy sheriff, both of whom drove machines in the city with tail lights extin- guished. A special session of the court was held for the justice, Rob- ert J. Livingstone of Sharon, and he was taxed the usual penaity, $6.80. The police were inclifed to be silent regarding the sheriff's case and they declined to give out the name. Hitch in Business Deal. Negotiations for the sale of the Central Meat Market on West Main street to Israel Pouzazner of New Brit. ain, which have been in progress for a few days, terminated abruptly last evening at a time when it appeared the transfer was assured and as a result the place remained closed to- day. Alfred Halpern, the owner, was made the defendant in a series of suits brought some time ago and the store has been closed under attach. ment since three days after he pur- chased it from James Minello. Pouzzner and Halpern seemingly got down to business yesterday and they had made such progress in the arrangements, for a transfer of the place that Deputy Sheriff Marsh of New Britain was called on to open the store to permit of the making ot || an inventory of the stock., After the value of the goods had been deter- mined it is sald that Halpern sud- denly decided that he .didn’t want to sell at the figure previously agreed on and the deal was called off. Friends of Halpern declare that he has made arrangements to have the attachments released as soon as the market is sold, having decided on some plan that will permit of his | torsy o s taf &?fi'fi T Ve W’ We are exclusive selling agents for Hartford for the merican Lady Saturday Specials!
