Carson League for the City Of New Yort.

1t is said that Illegal rumsellng cannot be pre-
vented in The city Of New York. With the
countenance and support of the Temperance men
o. the CITY, propose to attempt the suppression
OF such illegal traffic, by means of what is now
generally known through the county as the Car
son League. Let there be three or more Offices
established in the city, or one 10 every Police
Court. Let the Temperance men OF the city
volunteer 10 pay on their assessed property Eve
cents on the hundred dollars into the hands of a
responsible treasurer, to be used in paying the
services OF prosecuting agent, 10 be appointed
for each of those Offices, and such sub-aeen,s as
the prosecuting agent may deem it necessary to
employ, and | will engage TO shut up the illegal
rumselling so soon as the lay can be applied,
as we have in the Counties where the League has
been faithfully administered.
There is now more than 80 cents paid on ev.
cry hundred dollars to sustain this illegal trade.
we pledge ourselves TO suppress it at an expense
of cents only on the hundred dollars.
