% commitments for drunkenness last
year in Franklin county, the average
being rs per year since 1895. The num-
bers run very even for these IL years
the extremes being II in 1901 and Al in
1908. The rate of commitments for
drunkenness last year in the county
was one in 6S2 of the population.
Franklin, like Aroostook, Lincoln. OK
ford and Somerset counties, has long
been dangerous territory for liquor sell
lers.
1t should be added that not since
1891 have so few go persons been CON-
mitted to Jail in Franklin county for
violation of the liquor law as in 1911
officers do not have full opportunity TO
secure good results, unless courts adj
minister restrictive sentences on con-
victed parties. 1t should not Dc
necessary for an officer to apprehend a
liquor seller oftener than once year.
If county attorneys and judges made
full use of the law and evidence in all
liquor cases, there would be few ceai-
ers, except those out of business or in
Jail.
Aroostook; Hancock. oxford, Piscat-
aeuis and Waldo counties nave MAIN
tanned for some years a very low rate
of commitments for drunkenness. In
Hancock and PiScataquis counties the
commitments for the violation Of the
LIQUOR law are not numerous. although
much increased over the number which
prevailed before 1908. Nine counties
have good records, regarding the en-
forcement of the liquor law, and two
other counties fair records Androsrog-

the state with disastrous results, as
the number of arrests and commit

OF L. S. liquor tax payers show
: 1t is d natural consequence of this
disregard for law that there was the
following record of commitments for
drunkenness last year in these four
counties AndroscoSgin, one commit

land. one commitment to les papula-
ton; Kennebee county, ane commit
