ton were d. l.. Lewis Of Lovejoy &
Go. and Robert w. Breckons, attor-
ney for the liquor dealers association.
Representatives on the Oriental whole.
sale dealers were also heard.
g The principal objections voiced
against the proposed regulation were
that it would work hardship ON whole.
saler and consumer, that il would not
prove practicable, that it would prob
ably not stand the test of law, and
that the remedy sought could be Oh,
tained by the existing regulations,
We're such stringently enforced. wv,
As an alternative regulation IL was
suggested that the board require all
dealers to make daily report to the in.
spector of all sales made TO purchas-
ers, other than licensees, or shipments
outside of Honolulu, or Oahu, as the
board may wish. E t,a ! g MI
II was apparent that the regulation

sale of sake and samshu. =. =. + 2
