THE LIQUOR QUESTION.
Dicussion on License Before the Senate
District Committee.

District Committee.
A hearing on the two pending bills to reg
llate the sale Of liquor in the district was
granted by the senate district committee on
Saturday. Commissioner West argued in
favor of the bill drawn up by himself, while
y number of temperance representatives urged
the bill of Senator Hoar. Grand Worthy
Chief Templar KalstrOm intmated that the
commissioners had been derelict in enforcing
the liquor laws. The provisions against selling
liquor to minors, prohibiting barroom within
800 feet OF u school room, and selling liquor
to habitual drunkards were especially urged.
Commissioner West did not believe that ex-
IRENE high license was a good remedy, as it
would drive men into cOntraband and Illicit
trade. He believed $3.50 per year to be a
good figure, and urged that rigid provisions
he enacted to prevent retail sales under
wholesale licenses. Out of 462 wholesale
liquor establishments hero, he said there is
reason to believe that POO do an illegitmate
retail traffic Every place where liquor is
sold and drank on the premises should be
constituted barrOom. The wholesale license
hould be increased from $25 to 800 per an
mum. The present liquor law is u nuility.
In conclusion Mr.. West was opposed to the
proposition to give the fines to tho poor.
