OFFENDERS Glut of For the benefit of both the public and the RCMP drivers having overdue parking tickets are being phoned and asked to pay before a summons is served But because of a heavy case load many staff changes at the police office and the difficulty in tracing some car owners a time lapse of several months sometimes exists before a ticket holder is phoned City parking meter inspector Jack Nicholson said there is a backlog of overdue tickets at the police station Every day I process tickets over four days old and refer them to the police station for action Mr Nicholson said A motorist receiving a ticket for a parking infraction has four days to pay his fine before any police action is taken Mr Nicholson said approx approximately ¬ imately 10 tickets a clay arc referred to the police station An RCMP spokesman told The Citizen it is unfortunate that such a time lapse exists before a ticket holder is phoned Persons receiving parking tickets arc not criminals he said and phoning them saves considerable trouble It saves the subjects em barrassment a small amount of money and puts him in a bet ter frame of mind the officer said It also saves us car mile age and is the simplest and easiest way to process tickets We phone the subject to benefit both them and our selves The police spokesman said a summons is issued but if the fine is paid right away the Summons will not be served I find it regrettable were so late in phoning the subjects he said The officer said the RCMP didnt intend to treat ticket- holders as criminals But we have arrested people who fail to answer parking summonses he warned Because of the difficulty in 1953 Sludebaker 249 1958 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery 995 1957 Plymouth 399 1953 Chevrolet 299 1956 Dodge 4 Door Hardtop 795 1956 Hillman
