HOW PROHIBITION
BOOSTED SPOKANE
By G. A. FLEMING. Mayor of
Spokane, Wash.

Unqusstionably Prohibition in
Spokane 10 responsible for: first,
almost complete absence of
drunkenness on the streets since
January I, 1916, the date when
Prohibition went into effect;
second, the removal from this
city of a large number of va
grancies of both sexes; and,
thirdly, a marked falling off in
Police Court work and in the
number Of arrests.
Merchants report better bust
ness and an increase in cash re-
ceipts, and the general outlook
is optimistic. There is a reduc-
ton in. rents of certain class
Of bus:ness property, which may
or may not be regarded as a
benefit.
Since the advent Of Prohibi-
tion, the people generally ex-
pect good results and believe
the present indications bear out
