amounts to $304 and the share Of these four cities

of $56,869. If the saloons abolished in
these four cities the reader given to infer that there will
be pauper bills, to be charitable they would
be very materially reduced The records do not show
that the pauper bills of Marseiles Seneca, Earve, and
other dry towns were reduced when the saloons
abolished. And matter Of fact they would not be

The city council of Ottawa would be greatly embar-

annually. 1t would mean that certain departments would
be without funds and the council would be poweress to
readust its appropriations until the beginning Of the s-
cal year There has been effort to show where the city
could make good this deficit other than by direct taxation
The council could increase the city of taxation which
in all probability would be DONE but taxed to the

be enjoned by any taxpayer There is no question
about this.

create predjudice against the saloons Conditions in
