The effect upon business was 3 declared by the business men them- selves to be productive of a greater volume of trade, with a smaller pro- portion of unpaid accounts. It was shown also that licensed municipali- ties close at hand did not draw from 'Orillia merchants trade from Within their circle. l Speaking in Huntsville some time ago, Canon Greene, by request, reâ€" ferred to the enforcement of local op- tion in Orillia. The Huntsville For- ester quotes him‘ as follows: If 1008.1 option is killing this place I others might well WISH TO BE KILLED IN THE SAME WAY. REV. CANON GREENE. !

Public sentiment is with it and some who voted against it before would vote against repeal now. You will hear from the business interests themselves, but I may say that hotel property which was offer- ed for sale six or seven years ago at $8,500 is now rented as a store, and an ofler of $20,000 was refused the other day for the same property, an- other former hotel keeper is renting his place for $2200 a year and never intends doing a liquor business even though he had the chance. He is mak- ing enough money as things are. It stands to reason that there must be more money to spend in other direc/ tions.

Hotel men and clerks were more obliging and civil than under license, and so far as the financial return was concerned, some of the largest houses had declared that they were able to make a splendid living from the table alone, without the revenue of a licensed bar.

I Another parish priest who was not {in favor of the law, speaking to Fa- ther Ryan about the contention that 'local option caused a loss of trade, One of the features of a public meeting, under the auspices of the Carleton County Temperance Alli- ance, which was held in the town hall, Cum, on Monday evening, June 24th, 1912, was an address by Rev. Father Cavanagh, parish priest, tes- tifying as to the success of local op- tion- in Huntley township. The ad- dress is reported by the Carp Review as follows: Father Cavanagh said he was glad to be associated with the great work of moral reform represented by the cause of temperance, and to give The parish priest of Orillia (-at pre- sent in Barrie) told Father Ryan that while he was personally opposâ€" ed to local option. or any other si- milar law, he had to admit that it worked satisfactorily in Orillia. Our Catholic people are oiten told that local option is only a “Protest- :ant invention," whereas the Catholic province of Quebec might be called the home and cradle of local option. there being more municipalities un- der local option in that Province than in ‘Ontario, and many of these provinces were under prohibition and were kept under it by the strenuous efiorts of the parish priests. In‘most of the cities, and particularly in Montreal, the clergy, following the lead of Archbishop Bruchesi were do- ‘ ing all they could to obtain at least a substantial reduction in the num- ber of licenses. wall. Many clergy were opposed to it only through the consideration of lo- cal difficulties. REV.

Referring to the township of Huntley particularly, he said that ex- perience had proved bar room aboli- tion a most unqualified success, and he believed that all were now pretty fully convinced that the banishing oi the bar was the right thing. His own personal and professional experience was that it was a great boon to : them in Huntley tOWnship. He knew ‘ well that so far as Carp and Hunt- ley, and his own parish were con- cerned, it had proved a success and a blessing to them in every way. He wished the movement for the aboli- tion of the bar success in the other townships of Carleton county, and all over Ontario, and hoped that the time was drawing near when the curse of intemperance would be ban- ished forever.
