The common saying is shat figures
never lie, and IL this Is true IN all
cases and the estimates made yester-
day are correct. this city has expert
enced a great change for the better
as far as lawlessness is concerned,
during the past three years.
The year 1919 reached the high
point for arrests according 20 the
arrest sheets. No less than 5000
arrests were credited 20 that year
The general belief is that the manu-
facture of home made liquoEon the
stupor caused by the same were the
chief factors IN causing an increase
of 1 500 arrests over 1918.
Gradual Decrease.
The succeeding years. 1920 and
1921, have shown gradual decrease
Arrests during 1920 dropped off ap-
proximately 1000 from the banner
year Of 1919. while 1921 has an ap-
proximate grand total Of $500 the
smallest number of arrests in this
past five years.
Arrests during 1917 and 1913 re-
manned practically stationary AT an
estimated total of between $500 and
$500. The greatest increase was
that between 1919 and 1919. when
arrests jumped from $500 in 1918

ing in decrease was that between
the year 1919 and 1920, with total
OF 1000.
In comparing the arrests sheets
for 1920 and 1921, there was a no
ticeable scarcity of common drunk
