Sullivan Attacks 'Jay - Walkers' at Council Meeting

City Councillor Edward J. Sullivan lashed out at Harvard "jaywalkers" yesterday and put through the council a unanimous motion to amend traffic laws in the Square. The motion was passed on to the City Traffic Board for further study.

"It's about time we did something to protect Cambridge citizens and motorists," Sullivan said. "The Harvard boys cross the street any time at all reading a book and not even looking around."

"Maybe we could send our grammar school safety patrols up to give the boys instruction on crossing the street," Sullivan continued. "They just walk across as if Massachusetts Avenue was part of the campus."

After the meeting Sullivan stated that the city might send Officer-Delaney over to Harvard to "tell the boys about safety." Delaney has charge of the safety programs in the local grammar schools. "We will provide the white straps if Harvard wants to start a safety patrol," Sullivan added. "We will even give them little badges."
