(Signed) _ Matrurw KexxrEov Mayor." In proof of the statement that the morals of the community have not been improved, Mr. Kennedy has taken ftigures from the official records showing that the number of Police Court cases last yvear was 362, whereâ€" as this year the number is 510, He believes that if submitted again the by.â€" law wi‘l be defeated by 500. uf the people generally. _ Neither has it improyed the moral tone of the citizens as a whule, but on the conâ€" trary has injured local trade and lowered the moral well being of very many. I bhave seen Owen Sound under inâ€" discriminate, under restricted license, under the Dankin Act and under the present license act and finally under loeal option, and have no hesitation in saying that local option has not lessenea drunkeness, has not improvâ€" ed business, or the financial position _ 1 respectfully submit the following : The writer has lived continuously in Owen Sound for 50 years, has been in active business in Owen Sound for over 40 years and is in business yet. He has bad todo with employing men during all that cime and he has them under his control now. He has large pecuniary interests in several large wmanufactaring establishments here and has occupied the position of school trustee, councillor, reeye, mayâ€" or and license commissioner, member of the Board ot Trade, asone of its council and as President knows Owen Sound thoroughbly. Some active local optionists went so tar as to ask that these additional men should be Fn: on. _ No reduction in the municipal expenditure of Owen Sound can be made because of local option. Cl It was said that under local option the town would require fewer policeâ€" men and the saving to be made in that way would almost, if not altoâ€" gether, offset the loss in revenue. Is has been found that this cannot be done, _ In fact the salaries of the Poâ€" l1cemen had to be raised very maâ€" terially and the police force should be increased. The revenue derived from hotel and shop licenses amounting to $1,694 has been entirely cut off making an annual loss from these sources $3,091, 12. Besides, the corporation has had to pay for legal advice, council fees, fully $500 more defending the byâ€"law Oar citizens who tried to quash it lost, perhaps, another $4000 and their reâ€" lation as citizens were embittered. off. ‘The effect on the financial condition of the town is this. _ At the Court of Revision nine cases of appeal were heard, the applicants claiming that their properties had been lessened in value l()iy local option. On hearing the evidence the judge ordered that their assessment be reduced $57,750; and the corporation lost $1,857,12 in taxes. The owner of one hotel (the Coulson House) neglected to send in an appeal or in all l;:robabilit;y anothâ€" e[s&)‘,)eOOO would have been struck The temperate use of liquor is not considered wrong by the great maâ€" jorltflol pecvfile. The excessive use of it is an evil which all condemo and are willing to curtail. I believe this can be best done by regulating and restricting its sale under a license law. Itis the duty of all to see that men of good sound sundlng‘;gncfiul common sense are appointed to adâ€" minister it, and let these men see that no more licenses are issued than are necessary for the wants ot the communmity. â€" Let the evile resulting from the sale of intoxicating liqunors be taught in the schools, let peogle be persuaded to leave it alone. y these means the evils will gradually be reduced to a minimum. I do not believe they can be entirelv eliminâ€" ated. Iam sure they cannot be les-' sened by local option. same evils break out in an aygravaâ€" ted form in some other directionâ€"and the last state is worse than the first.
