the councils announcement said,
there was caused to be made an ex.
haustive investigation of the VOlstead

"A general disregard of the law
among all classes Of people. including
those who made the law.
Creation Of thousands Of moon.

dwellerS.
Creation of an army of bootleggerS.
An amazing increase in the traffic
