1673 BOCA RATON NEWS Vol. 12, No. 65 April 20, 1967 Thursday 104 School, City Officials Okay Juvenile Jury Teen Court Due Soon Traffic law enforcement for teenagers took a giant step forward this week as officers of school and city organizations put the stamp of approval on a juvenile jury system. Student Council and Teen Town members met with the Juvenile Advisory Council Mon- day night and were asked their opinion of a jury of teens. Both groups unanimously favored in- stituting such a system as soon as traffic offender'scan be pro- secuted in city court. Rep.Donald Reed said a sta- tute change to allow teen traf- fic offenders to be haled into city court would be introduced to the Legislature in Tallahas- see next week. The bill could legally be introduced April 25.
