"Purchaser.'
The customer, by signing number
with his wholesaler will be able to
give orders for his requirements by
telephone or verbally as at present.
Powers of Inspector = ~ ..
No valid objections have been pre-
sented TO the board and generally
speaking, the board believes that Il
would have the backing of the public
if it passed this regulation. ..
1t has been stated that the board
would be placing an excessive amount
of authority in the hands of the in.
spector in allowing him to Judge and
say who should be denied acquisitions.
1t is not and has never been the in
tention of the board to allow the in.
spector, on his own authority, to deny
any individuals acquisitions.
A temporary option for u suitable
location at the corner of Merchant
and King Streets for the office of the
inspector has been obtained by the
board.
