Narrative:

I was working local control with the radar controller switched aircraft X to me on a visual approach. I cleared aircraft X to land runway 4r. I continued to scan the d-brite and noticed that the radar controller had turn aircraft Y onto the ILS final and with speeds compression was occurring rapidly and to avoid a tie to the runway threshold I cancelled aircraft X's landing clearance and turn him to the south heading 180 and then called the traffic that he was going to have to follow to the airport and he reported the traffic in sight so I instructed aircraft X to follow the traffic and issued the visual approach clearance.
