Gessford Plans Lecture Court to Curb Auto Accidents
Police Head Maj Gessford told City Club a new informal traffic lecture court will handle violators reporting to police by citizens.

He also attacked handbook men, noting 17 arrests and 15 indictments in six weeks, with some second offenses, while cases remain open.
