"A Comparative Study of the
Social Conditions in Our City During
the Months Of Prohibition as Against
Conditions With the Open Saloons
This has already been published in The
call II was discussed by many of those
present Rev. Nr. Hammond said that
while the paper was a very interesting
one. there were several matters which
should be taken into consideration with
the orderly condition during the pro-
hfbition season. One of these was
that during the time the people were
greatly engrossed with their business,
and that the city was under military
protection and that protection was
taken away about the time the saloons
were reopened. He suggested that in
making a comparison between the two
periods all the factors be considered.
Rev George ". White, of Wesley
Church. spoke of the conditions at this
time and said that the people had had
an opportunity TO note the effects and
he believed that the good people can
now. II they so desire. work as unit
and have the liquor license increased
TO $1,000 which he believed would have
a tendency to reduce the number of
saloons He said that he had been ma
ligned for the stand he had taken in
regard TO high license, but that he was
still ready to work for an increase.
