Newtown sees fewer arrests but more traffic incidents in early year
Newtown township police report a drop in arrests in the first two months of the year while traffic accidents and injuries rise from the prior year. January and February totaled 77 accidents and injuries, up from 53, with 26 accidents and 11 injuries noted in February alone. There were 123 crimes in the first two months of 1980 versus 114 so far this year, and 135 crimes in the same period in 1979. Thirty-nine clearance actions included seven major and nine other crimes. Police logged 1,107 radio calls and a fingerprint service agreement with Marple Township was renewed, financed with a grant. The 38-page cable ordinance requires underground installations in many areas with a 15-year nontransferable license. A traffic signal project at Mary Jane Lane and Route 252 was awarded for $24,600 to Alfred Fry Inc, with paving bids to follow.
