Major subject categories indexed include: City and county government; Business and the economy; Education; and Community services, problems, and cultural events. |

Entries are arranged in alphabetical order with both subjects and personal names interfiled in the same alphabet. Entries consist of the headline, month, day, year, page, and column. |
SIZE OF INDEX: About 4000 entries per year (180 pages). |
