Police Court experienced the busiest year in its history in 1929, according to figures /released today by William A. Norgren, acting chief clerk of the court. ‘This report reveals that approximately 111,000 cases have been handled up w0 the present time, an increase of 20,000 cases over the entire year of 1928. The court also enjoyed the most pros- perous period in history during 1929, as Financial Clerk Sanford will have taken in $540,000 by January 1, accord- ing to Norgren.

Norgren announced that 25,000 cases, which would have cluttered up the court docket even more than was the case, were disposed of in this way.
