Lake County is one of the foremost
counties in the state in road impro-

constructed highways now thread the
rural district and afford easy means
of communication between every i'm

the idea of better thoroughfares

WHAT THE POLICE RECORDS SHOW FOR ions

HE receipts OF the police depart
ment for the first / months In
1905 do not compare well with the
figures shown for the same period of
1905. The report for this year win
nevertheless be good one. The fall
ing off In receipts is due to the fact
that about $4,000 per month from
gamblers and slot machine owners no
longer goes into the city treasury.
Chief Sheets says that the money from
gamblers averaged $500 per month
and the slot machines made up the
balance. If this were added to the
figures published herewith there
would be considerable increase over
last years showing.
Under the administration Of Chief
Sheets the force has not been in

been made. or those who signed the
