This list could be continued to fill
several pages. as there are upwards
OF 60 offenses for which arrests are
made by the State Police. The total
number of arrests for the months of
July, August, September, October,
and vember in 1925 was 467, while
for the same period this year the ar
rests made reach the imposing figure
or 10S6. Which considerably more
than doubles the former amount and
certainly seems to indicate that
whatever else the State Police may
be charged with, theyN are making
plenty of arrests.
