Cambridge police handed out about 15 one-dollar jaywalking tickets in Harvard Square yesterday as the City's new anti-jaywalking campaign went into its final stage.

Few of the tickets went to students, whom police said were responding quite well to the first active enforcement of a two-year old City law.

Also in response to the new enforcement several City councillors yesterday demanded that Robert E. Rudolph, director of Traffic and Parking, speed up the painting of City crosswalks. According to the anti-jaywalking law, a pedestrian must use a crosswalk if the nearest one is within 300 feet.

Chief of Police Daniel J. Brennan told the City Council that his officers would only ticket areas where the crosswalks are clearly marked. At the present time, according to Rudolph, this limits enforcement only to Harvard Square.

Brennan assured Councillor Cornelia B. Wheeler that police would also ticket cars which failed to stop at crosswalks without traffic signals.

Councillor Walter J. Sullivan introduction order for Rudolph to paint crosswalks in the Central Square area, before enforcing the law there.

In the Square, police said their only problems were foreign-born jaywalkers who broke into their native languages when confronted with the tickets. One pedestrian reportedly received a ticket when a television crew asked an officer for a shot of the new law in action.

Also yesterday the Council received a report from Charles F. Sprague, Super-inyard building did not violate City zoning regulations, which set minimum limits on the parking spaces around them.

The Council had ordered the parking survey after the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court last month ruled that Radcliffe had not provided sufficient parking space around its new Hillis Library.
