thev show an increase in crime over

sether be accounted for by the natural
increase of population. The total num-
Der Of convictions reached $4,000, or
. 500 more than last year. In the
cate9ories of ordinary theft and rob-
berry with violence the increase is gerv
marked, probably owing 20 the want
Faused by general trade depression. a
remarkable increase is also observable
In offenses against officials and against
public orders. Probably the largest in
crease of all is found in crimes where
bodily injury IS inflicted This last
rategory has risen from $4,000 to 4S.-
090 The number of offenses against
morality steadily rises in accordance
With he experience of former years.
This was notably the case with rape
and crimes committed against chill
