The State Liquor Commissioner, Eaton
Shaw, in his annual report, states that the
sales to cities and towns in the State for the
past year have been considerably less than
during any year since the large advance in
the price of liquors occasioaed by increased
revenue taxes, This does not indicate that
there is less consumption of the 'raw mate
rial" as shown by the large number who have
taken out wholesale and retail licenses, and
the amount of their sales reported to the
Assessors of Internal Revenue. Town agents
represent the illegal sale around them to have
been so general that the demand at their
agencies has become very greatly reduced.
The commissioner complains that some of the
town agents do not purchase their liquors from
him, but patronize the army of runners from
the wholesale liquor warehouses in the large
cities. Further, the commissioner thinks
that the omission to establish regular agencies
in certain places has furnished strong temp
taton to open liquor shops i'll such places.
Agents are required by the present law to
keep record of the names of all purchasers,
and the use for which liquors are bought,
which record is to be open to inspection.
This leads many well disposed persons and a
large number of protested temperance men
to patronize the illegal traffic, on account of
the great repugnance they feel to having their
names and purchases thus recorded and open
to public inspection. The commissioner rec
ommends change 10 the law in this respect.
We give few OF the towns and cities which
show the largest sums derived from the sale
of liquors. The statement may serve as an
