A total Of $4,000 was collected by
the secretary of state for automobile
licensing in the first eight days OF this
year, against $4,000 collected in the
same length OF time in 1910. Two days
this month are not yet accounted for,
because the clerks have been unable to
catch up with the applications that
have reached the office, and when they
have been checked up the amount re-
ceived in the first l0.days of the month
will exceed the total amount collected
for the entire month Of January, 1919,
which was $4,000 The large increase
In licensing of automobiles this year Is
in part probably due to the weather
conditions. while it may he also due to
q larger number going to operate auto
mobiles this season. A total OF $500
cars have been registered thus far, and
1000 operators licenses have been is
sued.

toxication cases before the court in
the first six months and "a cases, or
one half the above number, in the last
six months of the year. From thisIrec-
ord alone It would appear that after

the excessive use of liquor was reduced
