Last year's total was $1,087, 249, the highest ever recorded here. . In January of this year, the permit total was a mere $3700, and the low figure was attributed to the prolonged cold weather.

Nubbins Hoffman Dies Fighting Cheyenne, Wyo., April 1 lU'i Forrest "Nubbins" Hoffman died fighting for life with the same courage that won the nation's heart five Christmases ago, his mother said today. Mrs. Marshall Hoffman said her seven-year-old adopted son died without knowing he had no chance to live because of an in curable kidney ailment. Only last week, he had looked forward to- a trip to his aunt's farm at Osceola, la. Be then he slipped into the coma that ended with his death yesterday. Only his mother was present, unless one counted Brandy, the shaggy-coated little dog that was one of the many presents show ered on Nubbins when his case touched America's heart in 1944. "Maybe it's best this way," Mrs. Hoffman said. "But we did n't think it would be this quick. He wasn't in pain when he died and we inow there won't be any pain where he is now." Doctors predicted- in 1944 that Nubbins wouldn't live until Christmas. Thousands of persons sent message, gifts, toys and money when his parents held a special early Christmas. The ex citement seemed to rallv Nubbins' strength anfl he "lived through'; four more Christmas seasons. His father, a railway clerk, heard about Nubbins' death when he reached the end of his west bound run at Green River, Wyo., last night. The Hoffmans had adopted Nubbins, their only child, in Iowa when he was 10 days old.
