like cruelty or non-support, and
agreed to toodle-do-do away and not

The word was passed that drivers

Up to and Including July 36. the

Since July 38 the ahertff's office up

for the county to date to 6361, or
about half the autos in the county.
The atate police estimate there are
slightly more than 10,000 autos In
the counfy, and that there are be
