into a fire in the belmont motet ottawa which tok two lives the fire started m the ukond floor cocktail lounge the hotel s liquor license h been suspended newspaper interviews say that the fire on the norornc which took over a hundred lives started near the drinking quarters on the boat the inquests and investigations that will follow may or may not establish this fact or any other facts it surely is however a recognized fact that people who are intoxicated are very careless in their smoking habits they are in no condition to be careful with fire and are usually not con cerned with any precautions just when wm we strike at the root of all this unnecessary loss end discontinue establishing more and more out lets for the sale of beverages which make people incapable of caring for themiolvet and otlters no one will possibly ever be able to say that the noronic disaster was caused by the presence of a liquor outlet on the boat likewise none can say that if the outlet had not been on board that the disaster would not have occurred the facts are that intoxicating beverages were avail able on the pleasure cruiser and over a hundred lives were lost and a fine vessel is a heap

so does the per capita debenture debt the size of the current loan and the sie of others to come status and reputation of the finance officer is another factor but when it comes to elected representatives investors seem to like them on lhecomervative side if a reeve gets a bad teputatton as a skirtchaser the municipality would probably be wise to wait a few months before going into the bond market after all remarked the investment dealer quoted by civc administrations editor your banker would think twice about extending your credit if he heard you wore running around with another
