 At the police station arrangements are practically complete for installing the card index system that is to be used here after in booking prisoners and recording information pertaining to them The new system will come to be very valuable in time, as the card system that is to be used will provide for entering not only the name of the prisoner and the cause for which he was arrested, but also con- siderable other information concerning him, including his age, whether he is ! married or single. his race and color, his weight, any distinguishing marks and what disposition is made of his case. The cards will be kept in orderly manner in a
 case that is being constructed for them | It is the frequent experience of an officer
 to come into contact with prisoners who
 previously have been in the local court or | to desire certain information about such
 persons and when they were in the local court and why The card index system
 now being installed will furnish this in
 formation.
 | Wednesday marked the limit of time allowed attorneys representing bus lines or the trolley company at last week s hearing held in this city to file briefs with the public utilities commissioners. A
 decision as to whether the bus lines will
 be allowed to continue operation over all
 or any parts of the houtes they are now
 covering is of very great public interest
 and is being eagerly awaited.
 In some quarters it is being claimed
 that if the buses are forced out a flock
 of public service cars will come into the !. field and try for the profitable business of the bus lines. That this plan is being
 seriously considered by certain individ.
 uals both in Putnam and other nearby places is quite well established. Putnam business interests, as spoken for at thu hearing through members of the Cham Der of Commerce, want the trolley to bt : given a clear field, so that it may have lthe opportunity to furnish the better ser vice that its facilities can afford, so the prospect of the public service men goint l in to take the place of the buses if tho latter are forced out by the public util ties commission decision, adds a new an gle of interest to the transportation prob , lens of this section of the state.

 'L At the police station the official depar ment song bids fair to be Let the Moo oL Shine on the Moonshine. As raids go and seized intoxicants continue to a
