Prohibition Brings Problems.

NEW WESTMINSTER, b. c, Nov.
6.-Prohibition has brought many
problems to British Columbia.
At present the city authorities are
debating the disposition of a quantity
OF Chinese wine seized in one of the
city's first prohibition raids. Some
aldermen favor selling the liquor,
while others believe it should be de-
stroyed.
Plenty of time to debate the issue
is insured by a clause in the law
which prohibits the destruction or sale
Of liquor by authorities for 80 days
after it has been seized.
