 Depression Hits Court
 The present business depression hit the treasury of the local bor- ough court, it is apparent from the annual report of Court Clerk John M. Sutherland filed yesterday with Borough Clerk Hugh Hearns.
 The report shows a deficit for the year of $2,706.18. Usually the court is self-sustaining, the fines and costs collected during the pe- riod of a year being sufficient to meet all of theexpenses. This year due to the hard times the court was unable. to impose heavy fines in many caes, due to the fact that it would work much hardship on families, and many of those ap- bearing before the tribunal had no funds.
 The total receipts of the court according to Clerk Sutherland was $5. 536.77 and the total OK penses $S,242.95. Of the amount expended the sum of $2,3a0.44 was turned into the motor vehicle de- partment of the state. The total court costs collected amounted to $4,176.27.
