Aid. Qusres on Spocia.C to whom was
referred the License questio n made the following
report
The Committee to whom was referred the pet.
ton relating to the censeing of the traffic in intox
icating liquors. have had meeting on tho subject
without being able to agree upon measures, that
they wond recommend to the Common Council for
adoption. | can therefore only report for myself
that on examination of the subject find It more
dlihcult, to mark out course which in my opinion
would best subserye the public interest, than dis.
covered at first sight. ! assume an indsputable
fact that the common use of aud traffic. in intox
eating liquors, s wholly evil to all connected with
it and to the community where the traffic is allowed
Had we the power to totally suppress the traffic
believe the exercise of il would greatly promote the
interests of community.
But do not believe that public sentiment is pre.
pared for such measure and that it is duty to
adopt such measures, will accord with the views
of and receive the support of constituents and
that we should adopt measures no'more stringent
than we can enforce The only question remaining
in my opinion is, how can we restrain the traffic SO
to cause il to produce the least amount of evil
think that licenses should be graduated from fifty
TO twenty hYe dollars That al these prices quite
a number would take licenses and thus create
liquor influence to assist the Council in enforcing
the law upon those who deal in the article without
licenses while the price il not so low, but think
1t would diminish the number of retailers consider
| ably.
| l wond rocomend to have incorporated in each
lisceuse ~aned, that they should sell no liquor on
the Sabbath and that violation of that condition
should forfeit their liscnse.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
ByJ. V Quarles.
