Biggest Year Ever.

NPPAfSessAOiiS AOA PSAiAAtoS new DSNAA
made at the office of the Clerk of the
Circuit Court in Oakland. This num-
Der breaks last years record by one,
but does not endanger the all-time
record for November, which is 1875.
According to present figures the
total number for the year 1927 will
surpass any previous year by more
than 200. Up to the present time
there have been 1900 marriage licen-
ses for the year 1927 issued, while
the total number for last year was
only ILL. At this time last year the
total was 993.
Nine of the eleven months this year
have broken last years record, while
four of the months, April, June, Au-
gust and October, have made new rec
ords for all time.
During the past two weeks, ending
at noon Tuesday there were 81 licen-
ses issued, nine of which were marked
"don't publish" and two were refused
licenses because of being under the
required age.
