Entricken & Sewell Roduction Sate. Met in the Clerk‘s Office Hanover on Monday the I6th, inst._ Members all present, the Reeve in the chair. I forgot to say that we have had a council opposed to Local Option from the beginning. The Mayor, however unlike the Owen Sound Mayor, has been as fair in the matter as we could reasonably expect. He was asked the other day to reply to the Owen Sound letter, This he declined to do on account of the stand he had taken, but he admitted that the by law had been a much greater success than he anticipated. __ 4. A great change is noticeable in the sobriety"and order of the streets. Very little drunkenness is observed. You can take your children round any curner without passing through a line of loafing and drinking men. . On the whole the law is a success here, and if we maintain our present position, we have no fear of auy desire on the part of the rateâ€"payers to go back to the license system. We expect, how. ever, todo much better when we get the license zt&cd out .in â€"Penetangâ€" uishene and <r towns. 2. Th6é working men are pleased with it Druokenness has greatly decreased among this class, The emâ€" ployers of labor find a very marked improvement and can count on getâ€" ting their men back to work after payâ€" day, thus effecting a great uving in trouble and expense. _ The men have not the téemptation of the open bar and save their money or spend it on house comforts. 3. Many homes, to my own person= al knowledge, are enjoying peace and comfort they have not known for years, 1 know some very bhard drinkers who havs not used liquor <ince the first of May. Of course there is a certaim type of drunkard .who. will drink in defiance of any law, but experience shows that auother ty pe will not drink when it is not forced on his attention by the open bar. 1 The business men are satisfed with it. ‘All the banks favor it al. though.they were against it when the yote was taken. There is not a single businiess man of any prominence in the town who would vote against the byâ€"law toâ€"day. Some take this stand for purely business reasons, findinf it easier to Â¥et cash payment and colâ€" lect old bills, Notwithstanding certain features that tend to discredit the byâ€"law I can assure you that it is vast imp ovement onthelioeuc. system as we saw it Bentinck Council mel 2e ns Nee wl o mt n td %}fi;» £k .;‘e‘? ‘%f:f, T. ‘ M s ~ * es ie e ts C NML c Paenin on t ns All our experience at your service.
