QUEBEC HELPS OBSERVE
BORDER PROHIBITION.
Ouer II Million jars Used Yeor

Il Montreal Jan. I2.-Cancellati0n
by the Federal authorities of bonded
warehouse privileges in four border
counties of the province, which are
under the Scott Temperance act, has
effectively closed the source through
which thousands of gallons of liquor
found it's way into the United States,
L. Giguere, Secretary of the Quebec
Liquor Commission, said today
The counties affected are Bronze,
Stanstead. Compton and Mississquei,
bordering on the States of Vermont
and New Hampshire.
According to Mr.. Giguere, Ontario
liquor shippers recently have made a
practice of consigning carload lots of
liquor to ST. John, N. B., and then
ordering the shipments stopped at
some point near the border on the
pretext that the routing was to be
altered.
Trucks then would appear, unload
the liquor and smuggle it across the
border, he said. The practice contin-
ued for some time because the ram
roads, having collected their freight
charges in advance, had no interest
in making complaints.
Canceling the bonded warehouse
privilege, Mr.. Giguere explained,
would prevent legal shipments
through the four affected counties,
but would prohibit the stopping Of
shipments in the border territory.
