 , MT. Prestons statement of work fo the year is as follows: Previousl known, residents, 556; first appearance residents 556. Total, 1,172. Non-res dents, 1,52S. Total for residents an non-residents, 2,7OO.
 Add SS5 "repeaters," making a tots
 of non-residents dealt with, 2,413. In crease over last years figures: Resi dents, 215; non residents, decrease, 272 , net decrease, 57.
 The reported increase in the numbe 1 of persons or families of the resider
 class, 215, Is due to various causes, tn main one being the great use of thi
 office by the police and courts, over
 per cent. of residents coming from tha
 source for investigation. Individual
 and societies are also using us more fo | information and advice. The increas is therefore not an indication of tn lack of food, fuel or material thing
 generally, but simply shows greate cooperation. The general call upon tn
 charity of the city has been much les z l than in former years, and work lla
 been, and still is abundant, so that nc :. much relief is required, except in tr ? ca go of the aged and disabled elasse
