Kingston, Jan. 21.--(To the Editor): According to law, the government and | the municipality should share equally {in the revenue derived from liquor { licenses. But at ome of the semi-an- | nual distributions last year, the gov- {ernment .received $5,638 and the city only $4,075. Why did the government receive $1,563 more than the city? Because it enforced the law and col | lected the fines. Why did not the city lenforce the law and receive the reve- nues paid in fines ? "Ay, there's the rub." As matters now are, two policemen may stand before a barroom window {on a Sunday afternoon; they may sce a man behind the bar selling liquor, and men before the bar drinking it. Now, what are those policemen to do ? Arrest those who are violating the law --two laws, in fact, the Lord's day act and the license act ? That would seem to be the reasonable course to pursue, but the policemen are expect-! ed to shut their eyes, or look the oth- or way. If the license inspector came along and asked them to assist him in making a raid they would be ex- pected to respond to his call; other- wise they are not expected to do any- thing. Here is a source 'of revenue has not been tapped by the city. mer Davis, in a capital address before the council, on Monday evening, point- ed out that if eight licenses were can- celled the loss in revenue would be only $2,000; but though there would be this apparent shrinkage, many thousands of dollars, now wasted, and worse than wasted in drink, would go! to swell the wealth of the city, and increase its revenue-producing power. If the city enforced the law as it might, and should, there would belit- tle need to look around for new sources of revenue to offset the $2 000 lost by the cancelling of eight licenses. No one will contend that the license law was rigorously enforced last year, and yet in a single day over] 21,500 was collected in fines. The trick 'might be repeated two or three times a year, with advantage to all concerned, and the money might just as well come into our city treasury as go to the provincial. This subject presents another | serious aspect. Probably it not generally known now that our police are not supposed tQ take notice of in fractions of the licehse act. Were it common knowledge that they would romptly arrest a poor little boy who stole a loai to keep him from starv-| ing, but that they would close their | | eves when they saw men in the most | Semi-Finals Consolation. 11; SMITH BROS., Jewellers, Opticians.

Alderman Chown favored the course before, but the council feared to lay hands upon the mone chest that the waterworks department had placed in storage for a needy day.

Then! within the next couple of years, some of the downtown mains will have fo be replaced with larger ones, and some dead ends connected.
