have departed from the conservative platform in this respect w are ontarios big- bbbtlegtgere r has it ever occurred to the premier who is pleading the campaign to supplant to the ontario temperance

been under the ot af the worst bootleggers v of all in the province the worst tiecause their sales have been in wholesale quantities government control automatically legalizes importation of liquor there can be no question that legalizing the sale of liquor within the province will legalize im- portarion into the province this opinion upon the effect of the ontario governments liquor legisla

maintained and it must be enforced premier fergusons- government control policy will make hard liquors easy to obtain and will great ly increase their consumption and their consump tion has always carried with it a trail of poverty privation and crime a victory for ferguson will be an admission that the booze interests and the boot leggers are more powerful than the law for one of the main arguments being used against the- on tario temperance act is that it cannot be enforced are the people of ontario going to admit that the bootleggers and lawbreakers have gained the tipper hand or are

very successful and satisfactory operation for some six ycarsr3during the present year this commission as taken oyer the operation of the municipal system of waterworks with results equally as satisfactory cs those of the hydroelectric system this is amply proven by the fact that the revenues received from the watereworks system the past three months werd upwards of 50000 in excess of the revenues collect ed for the same quarter last year in addition to this the cost of operation have been very consider ably reduced the voting on the bylaw is simply the request by the coiincil that the ratepayers con firm and give their approval to what has practically been adopted owing to the exigencies of the situa tion the placing of- thewaterworks system under what will be known as acton public
