POLICE CHIEF CITES NEED Establishment of Municipal Court Here Being Studied By Councilmen Chapman Holding Own In U. S. Amateur Golf Rchard Chapman, Sr., of Pine hurst, Wbn two matches in the National Amateur Golf Champion ships Wednesday and was sched uled for another today. The tournament, being played in San Francisco, has only two North Carolinians left: Chapman and Harvie Ward, formerly of Tarboro. Ward is the favorite to win. Chapman, who won the U. S. Amateur title in 1940 and the British Amateur in 1951, was the winner of the North and South Amateur tournament in Pinehurst last spring. His son, Richard Chapman, Jr., lost out in an earlier match. Establishment of a municipal+ court, a move that has been court ed here on and off for many years, came a step closer to reality Tues day night when the Town Coun cil directed Manager Louis Schei- pers, Jr., to prepare a study of the possibilities and report back at the October meeting. Discussion ^of the matter, last item on an average docket, was lively and all five councilmen seemed genuinely in favor of an early establishment of such a court if it proved advisable. The matter this time was brought up by Councilman Robert Ewing, who stated that he had been giving some 'thought to the matter and felt it would serve a definite purpose. “We now have a suitable place for location of such a court,” he said, referring to the new Municipal Center, “and it appears to me an excellent climate has been established for the re ception of one.” Adding weight to his argu ments, which were persuasive, was a report on police activity during 1957 which was presented to the Council by Chief of Police C. E. Newton. He said that during the year the department had ma& 744 arrests and a total of 275 trips had been rriade by policemen to Carthage to lock up prisoners, and for other business purposes. The figure, he said, did not include the trips made each Monday by policemen appearing in Recorder’s Court. He said that 168 cases had been tried in Recorder’s Court in Car thage and that some 140 people arrested here had been Confined for varying periods in the jail I there. I “We need a court here desper- , ately,” he said, “if for no other 'reason than to cut down on this ! growing number of trips we have to make to Carthage.” The trips, he added, frequently left the town without adequate police protection. Moreover, he continued, the cost involved ran into several hundred dollars an nually. Each Councilman placed himself on record as emphatically opposed to giving any impression that establishment of such a court would be for revenue purposes. Even so, the matter of revenue was not overlooked. Aberdeen’s court, according to a visitor at the meeting, did a business of more than $40,000 during the past 12 months. Expenses of operating the court amounted to something in the neighborhood of $38,000, (Contmued on Page 8) Methodists Here Plan Anniversary ObservanceSunday The fourth anniversary of the establishment of the Southern Pines Methodist Church will be observed with special services Sunday, according to the Rev.
