BAHAMAS GET RICH
ON LIQUOR SALES
Deficit of Government Has Been
Turned Into a Comparatively
Large Surplus.

Nassau. Bahama Islands. Feb. IL
Prohibition in the United States, which
caused enormous quantities of liquor to
descend almost like an avalanche upon
this citv, has transformed the Bahama
governments financial condition as II
bv magic from deficit to comparative
" a huge surplus, provided labor for
large numbers of unemployed, and put
more money in circulation in this little
British colony than for many years.
Sir William L. Allardyce, governor OF
the colony. made this known officially
Yesterday in an address formally open
ing the 1920 session of the legislature.
The original estimate of the colo
ny's revenue was 1872 900 for the year
and expenditures S526,000, with def
icit of 1854 900 to be made up through
increased taxes and duties. With the
banishment of wines and liquors from
the United States, Nassau became one
of the havens OF refuge for wet goods,
being one of the nearest foreign ports
outside of Canada and Mexico.
Half dozen vessels brought full car
goes of wines and liquors and the du-
ties from these have restored the Ba-
hama government 5 fallen fortunes, due
to the war, from decided deficit to a
surplus three times as large as the e
pected deficit, or about S555,000 The
years revenue is figured at Sl,0S500O
and the expenditures at S5S0,000 With
the increased revenue, Governor Allard-
wee said, the question of reducing the
q. h.
be considered by the legislature.
In addition a surplus of S500,00O
yearly during the next two years at
least is expected from duties when the
liquors are taken out of bond.
