20,065 Shipments Of
Liquor Here in June

Reports from the ordinarys office
show that the liquor shipments for the
month of June equalled 20.065 as against
7741, in May. This mark was forecast
by that office early in the month when
the May record had already been passed.
The ordinarys office is kept working
overtime on these shipments with no
relief in sight. The legislature, in maxi
ing provisions for these reports from
the express companies, failed to make
any additional arrangements for handl-
ing them and hence the burden falls
