FINES & FEES T 1he fines ind fees have x-reraged over $1,200 per month for the past seven months. Our .atter-Vt to collect all small fines for books left at the desk or in the auto page has been quite s�itcsssful. we are employing tim part-time pages to send out these small bills - some are no-t so small,, This not only results in a considerable Increase In fine receipts but also results In the cancellation of registrations of those who have roved out of town. It seem an eminently fair procedure to those who always pay their fines.
