v ii ttonreetrm thuhxiut mocko oct- i 1884 r hotel accommodation our cetera the actovfrm puses ex tends good and vise counsel to the hotel- keepers ox halton in a lengthy editorial on the above subject hut week bight you arc brother let those- concerned read mark and inwardly digest the remarks and then go and follow the advice given we emphatically reecho the sentiment and opinions expressed and add to them the fol lowing we think thai there are far more hotels in the county than are necessary to do the real work of a hotel namely to provide accommodation for the travelling public there are five hotels in oakville while two are tunpfy sufficient- enquiry made some time since elicited the fact that the num ber of persons stopping at all the hotels was about an average of ten a night what need for more than two hotels to tocom- modate this number it is just as impos sible for five hotels to flourish on that amount of business as it is for five dry- goods merchants to prosper on the amount of trade necessary to gire only a fair living profit if transacted by bat two as far the rest of thenotelkeepers they will be obliged to do ai the other three drygoods merchants would have to do in like circam- etnces go into some other business in which the supply does not already exceed the demand jalxitle independent the milion xtvx reviews th matter as follows a feeble effort was made by the hotel- keepers in 1682 to edacate the public mind in favor of taverns by closing them up al together and refusing all accommociatian to travellers and other patrons this as aay th hiking man could have clearly for- seen produced a different impression on the public mind to that which was intend ed and after a few weeks of close com munion with themselves and their families found that their treasury was being deplet- t n much of their valuable patroiiage lost liter the present defeat the tavern- keepers bxve of coarse uot closed their hausesyut raised the rates to a standard almost prohibitory fifty cents a meal is nothing ahort of extortion when the quality of the accommodation is considered on ncground can they justify the imposition of such rates and we will state our reasons for making this assertion for regular- boarders the rate is from 3 to 350 per week say an average of 1325 this divided bv 21 the number of meals 6erved in a week shows the price paid for each meal to be a fraction over 15 cents and this is not taking into account the price of seven nights lodging the use of a bed chamber and sitting room the cost of light fuel and other little incidentals wsicb turn up in every hotel consequently we find that by estimating the cost of seven nights lodging and other incidentals just mention ed at 123 a week which is fraction over 15 cents per night the actual amount a refeolar hoarder pays for his aboard alone is 52 a week or about 2i cents per mel andcyet the public is told that tavern keepers cant afford to allow a trav eller or occasional patron to eat a meal in their houses unless he pays them 50 cents the outcome of this action will be that no farmer coining to town to trade or to trans act business will pay fifty cents for his dinner he will either do without or buy a lunch to tide him over till he reaches home and in either case be will be the gainer both in health and pocket bat it is not at all iftely that the present tariff will prevail for any greatiength of time the everyday actions of the hotel- keepers show that their organization is very imperfect they have no confidence in each other and are jealous for fear one receives more than his share of public patronage and to overreach his neighbor in the business deductions of their rae are made to travellers who make any decided objection to the extortionate rates this is now being done and we can naine travel lers who have received accommodation during the past week at one of our acton hotels and also at two georgetown hotels for about half of the tariff rates arranged by the hotdkeepers committee a couple of weeks ago the result will be that within ai very short time most of hotels will be doing business under the old tariff or per haps at reasonably increased rates then and not until then will they be accorded thcgeneral support and sympathy of the publis the menin this business as in every other mnstleam sooner or later that they are dependant upon thttpvbuc for a livelihood and not as they evidently pre sume the pubhcnponthen seven proverbs becalledsoddenlyto the memory of our friends theenemy on the evening of tues day the

the important fall shows in eastern cana da and the united states we notice that some of the antiscott act papers claim that many of those who intended to vote for the repeal of the scott act in haltoa voted for the act through ignorance and thereby helped to sustain it do they mean to say thereis more ignor anoe on their eidethan on the side of tem perance it is quite likely a few mistakes of this kind did occur bat it is just as likely they occurred on one side as much as the other other equally flimsy excuse e pat forth as the cause of the majority the act dut ham revievr a petition

has been despoaited in the sherifts ofiioe at the brockville assizes last week the grand jury unanimously passed a resolution in favor of the scott act it is as follows that in the opinion of this grand jary the liquor traffic is a great evil and that in order to repress this evil we trust that the temperance act of 187s may be adopted in the united coun ties of leeds and grehriue it never rains but it pours the cold water wave is steadily rising and the latest sign of the tendency of public opinion is the withdrawal from the contest against the scott act of the dominion brewers wine and spirit merchants association this concern was really the backbone of the opposition to the scott act compris ing the solid men of the wholesale trade whose wealth has been freely drawn upon in the various recent contests the halton defeat has dispirited them and they have resolved t3 put out no more money but to let the local dealers in the localities inter ested hoe their own row this will put additional enthusiasm into the work of the temperance men toronto kcvz the minister of edncadon will soon have his new eeries of readers 1 or the pablic schools reaoy he is having them prepar ed by a number of gentlemen who possess lengthened experience as teachers the books are now being set up and plates of them prepared sets of these plates the minister will sell to the publishers at cost price the publishers on condition of getting them will be bound to sell the books at or below prices fixed by the minister the agreements between the minister and the publishers are how being drafted the result of this new move is that there will be only one series and the rivalry of pub lishers will be limited to underselling one another below the fixed price and in the fuality dfthe printing paper

and families migh be seen driving into the little place known as brookville from early in the morning their wagons were generally well loaded with farm or dairy produce of an excellent quality to be entered for com petition in their own and only fall show the entries were very large and secretary mcmillan had his hands full in recording the names of all the competitors in the dif ferent classes in the afternoon those who were to form that essential element in every great event designated bj the n of the disinter ed spectators put in an ap pearance at the scene of attraction the ladies turned

feeling among the licensed victualler they feel somehow that the gaine is up that there is no uee in fighting further that spending more money if just throwing good money after bad consequently they feel weary 1 the whole blame of the disaster is laid upon eingdodds they claim what is evi dent enough that halton should have been left alone should have been quietly ignored except as a source from whence to draw argument against the aot they say that but for dodds that would have been done he however persuaded them against their better judgment and now they are furious at the overwhelming defeat they say that the vote in halton killed all of dodds in- finence as well as their business meanwhile king dodds is laid up in bed a sprained knee being the ostensible cause on wednesday night the dominion brew ers and wine and spirit merchants associa tion of which dodds is agent decided to abandon their share of the struggle against the scott act and gave no more money tnwarda the contest they are the wealth iest men and heaviest contributers of all the liqaor party and their support being withdrawn othellos occupation would seem to be gone as the local opponents of the act will now have to provide the sinews themselves the success in halton was a victory in more ways than one toronto besides the protective association the owners of taverns and licensed groceries in each county were formed into county associ ations and whenever the temperance party agitated the scott act in any county the local association got so much from the dominion protective association on condi tion of raising a certain sum among- ita own members this is the case in halton the re- vote in halton has settled the case so far as the wholesale men axe concerned jtorfef board of trustees the board of
