REPORT SAYS DIVORCES
DECREASE IN NEVADA

The Department of Commerce
announces that there were 1928
marriages performed in Nevada
during 1926 as comparded with
1922 in 1925, representing an in
crease of 106, or 9.4 per cent
During 1926 there were 1921
divorces granted in the state as
compared with 1882 in 1925, rep
resenting a decrease of 81, or 5.6
percent. There were twenty mar
riages annulled in 1926.
The population of Nevada at the
time of the census in 1920 was
77,407, and since this figure rep
resents a decrease, as compared
with 1910, no estimates have been
made for subsequent years. On
the basis of the 1920 census figure
for population, the number of mar
riages in Nevada per 100 of the
population was 1873 in 1926 as
against 145 in 1925; and the num-
ber of divorces per 1000 OF the
population was 1919 in 1926 as
