The petition, :3 short one. is addressed to the mayor and corporation. lt sets forth that it is not in the interest of the city or of public morality to grant licenses to saloons, or to places which, although tak- ing tavern licenses, are really doing but a saloon business, or to pl3t'l`B where the law is known to he violated ; that licenses are now granted to places tailing under each of the above classes; that the number of li- censes granted should; in the opinion of the petitioners, be reduced so as to at least cut of} the above classes ; and it was prayed that a substantial reduction be made in the number of licenses to be granted for the next license year, with a view to the aboli tion of the above classes of holders. didnto Ior legu-Isuve nonuru- Edward Cnrsweii,'of Oshawa. 3 temper- ance orator of much fame, lecturer of the grand division Sum `of Teinpernnce. will "apend_u wrek in and about Kinqutop.
