Note 272 — Chapter V · REGULATION AND ORDER—THE STREETS
Reading edition
Accuracy is more difficult in dealing with Cologne than elsewhere, because a fresh list is compiled annually and no names are removed in the course of the year though many women disappear. A list that at the close of the year contains 1,500 names probably amounts at no time to more than 600, of whom about one-half regularly report to the police. This statement is based on personal information, confirmed by Zinnser, Zeitschrift V, p. 202.
