Waile the Government has been
riarl1ing time waiting for the new
liquor control bill which was promised
Ut the last session Of Parliament the
brewers have formulated reform
scheme In the form OF a licensing bill
introduced in the House OF Commons
BY Col. John Gretton and supported by
q rumper OF conservative members Of
Parliament.
The measure represents an attempt
ty the liquor trade to reform itself in
stead of letting others reform IL. IT
aims to let down the bars all around
ana makes o clean sweep Of the pres
ert liquor control board. which is a
var body. and greatly increases the
hours Of sale, although It reduces the
rre-war hours by nearly one-ha!f
Tho measure gives the licensed vic
tuailcr new protection against decisions
by licensing justices and subjects clubs
to the same hours as public houses.
Before the war places selling liquor
we're allowed to keep open nineteen and
n half hours In London, seventeen hours
in other towns and sixteen In the coun-
try. The present rule Is six hours daily.
1t Is proposed to allow places to keep
open not more than eleven hours and
not less than nine hours.
No alteration of the former Sunday
hours Is proposed. but in Wales there
Will be 70 Sunday selling under the pro
posed measure. The hours may be con-
tlnuoue or with intervals OF closing.
This IS to be fixed In each town and
country parish by licensing Justices Of
the district, but the rules may vary
in regard to particular premises. Liquor
may be sold at any time In railway re-
fresh1nent rooms to persons arriving
from distances of not less than twenty
miles
At present the bora fide traveller does
not exist at all under the control board
ruling and cannot get intoxicants at
his hotel or lodging place during the
prohibition hours. Under the new bill
l,s Is restored to his old status; that lS
2. person who on the previous night
lodged at least three miles from the
place In which he asks liquor may be
supplied at any time.
The new. bill MT the same time takes
measures TO make evasions ot the law
more difficult. Another provision al
lows the sale At any time OF spirits re-
CURED by persons suffering from tho ef-
fec.s OF recent accident or sudden Ill
ness or any emergency % that nature.
The quantity OF liquor which may oe sold
20 child In a corkcd bottle is reduced by
the bill from a pint 70 half pint. Also
adults arc not TO be precluded from TAX
Ing child into any part OF licensed
premises. Penalties for drunkenness also
are favored.
II is made an offence FOR a holder OF
a license TO refuse to supply suitable re-
freshment other than Intoxicating liquor
at reasonable prices. The playing OF q
lawful game for recreation also Is IA
vored.
