City Recorder II. B. Langille sub
mitted a monthly report as TO the
city's finances and the quarterly report
for the recorders court. The cases
coming before Recorder Langille were
for the most part for drunkenness.
The report concluded as follows.
''Out of the total of % cases heard
twenty two were upon the charge Of
drunkenness. While IN no case have the
defendants admitted where they Sc
cured the liquor in this city, although
II had been so secured in about half
the cases. there has been sufficient
evidence TO show that it is the practice
of some of the physicians here to issue
prescriptions for liquor which have
been filled IN quantities as large as two
quarts in one case, and at least eight
ounces in all. Ana in every case that
has come before me there has been no
apparent excuse for the use of LIQUOR
at all, the defendants not pleading i'll
ness as the excuse for securing, or
showing any signs of illness other than
the effects of the liquor itself.
1t was suggested by the council that
the fines for drunkenness be heavily in-
creased.
