No Disturbances

No complaints were made in the
city or county of any disturbances.
and it is believed that the closing of
the saloons, particularly in the city,
was largely responsible for the order
which was maintained without diff
Guilty during the day. Volunteer in
terpreters were kept busy in dis

tions.
Only fourteen county registrars
turned in bills for their work or for
mileage to the city to bring in the

hundreds of men at work on the
registration been paid it would have
cost approximately $4,000, not in.
