WESTFIELD. Mass. Jan. .
Westfeld has been city just enc

that in that time drunkenness cases
have increased just 30 per cent.
Whether this is due to the new status
of the community government or to
other reasons is puzzling the curious.
There were 100 arrests for drunk
cnness in 1921 as compared with 10
in 1920. before Westtield became a
city. In addition there were many
suburban residents arrested for
drunkenness in 1921.
