further assurance of price

a total Of SIS cars stolen or taken by

giving the city the advantage of an
S3.l3 per cent recovery.
Detectives Hughlett, Jett. Allfgoou

the entire twelve months. Day after
day report after report of cars being
stolen were received. and each re-
port meant an investigation. some of
the investigations taking the detec-
tives many hiles distant.
Joyriders gave the squad much
annoyance. Machines were taken
ed in another. and in numerous in
stances. the reports show, trusted
chauffeurs borrowed" their en-
ployers' cars. and made it necessary
for the detectives to lose much time
in making Investigations.

stolen cars or cars taken by JOY
riders and abandoned. Members of
