Clerk H. w. Thomas.
OF this number majority, eigh-
teen were for white people That is
something that has not happened be-
fore during the five years-the is
suing Of more license to whites than

riages in April exceeded the whites
by the ratio of two to one, the fig
ures being % to II.
In 1908 the April record was made,
