J. II. Robbins, who was prevented by
illness from attending. Mr.. Nichols
spoke of the great increase in the con-
sumption of liquor since the local option
| law was enacted. He cited statistics
showing the largely increased number

the necessity of enlarged police forces

Of much greater assistance to morality
in New Hampshire than the local OPP
