VALUE OF LONDON LICENSED
 PUBLIC HOUSES.

PUBLIC HOUSES.
 Some remarkable statistics were giv- en before the royal commission on H. censing laws by Mir E. N. Buxton, a partner in the brewing firm of Truman, Hanbury, Buxton & Co., Having spok- en of the general relations between the great brewers and the license holders. the witness went on to say that, as to the capital in the trade, he thought it would be. correct to affirm that the in- terest of the license-holders in the Lon- don district was not less than G10,000,- 900. There were about seven thousand fully licensed public houses in the me- tropolitan police area. Taking the low est average valuation per house at G7,- 000, that would give e49000,0 900 as the value of the fully licensed houses Then there were other premises, such as refreshment-rooms (not including the larger hotels)-and he thought it would be a very moderate computation to say that these establishments were worth at least G11, 100000, making about s60,000,0 900 as the moderate valuation of the whole. That would give e12,000,000 as the proportion of capital belonging to the licensed victuallers. He had taken the actual value at the present time of about five hundred licensed houses as e5, ,367 900, and out Of that the tenants interest was e1,242, ,000.-Lon- don Telegraph
