These figures speak Tor themselves, and are a sufficient answer to the Trade’s astounding statements that NoLicense increases drunkenness. The TESTIMONY of the MAYOR of INVERCARGILL Is WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION, and adds one more to the overwhelming proofs of the value of No-license. “IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF OUR GROWING YOUTH I WOULD REGRET TO SEE LICENSES RESTORED. PUBLIC ORDER IS EXCELLENT. IT -IS SELDOM A MAN EITHER DRUNK OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF LIQUOR IS SEEN IN THE STREETS OF INVERCARGILL.” rjTRE TRADE FIGURES SAY INVERCARGILL’S CONSUMPTION OF LIQUOR Is 115)507 Gals of BEER--B>44sGals5 Gals of SPIRITS & WJKE - The Trade Figures DO NOT STATE that this is FOR TWO YEARS. Neither can they state how much of this is consumed in Invercargill and how much in the licensed area outside that city. But supposing it was all consumed in INVERCARGILL (which cannot, of course, bo the case), even then Licensed GISBORNE. CONSUMES NEARLY FOUR TIMES AS MUCH BEER AND SIX TIMES AS MUCH SPIRITS as the much larger city of INVERCARGILL. JS ]\fO-LICENSE JVULURE? NOT ACCORDING TO THESE FIGURES. Then STRIKE OUT THE TOP LINE. SHBURTON JARUNKENNESS THE MOTHER’S pitiful story from Ashburton may bo genuine, but an intelligent Public will soon judge whether the ruin of her •boy was due to No-License or to the Liquor Trade. A telegram received from Ashburton recently states that there were only TWO convictions for Drunkenness and NO Prohibition Orders last month (August) in Ashburton. GISBORNE’S record for the same month "was 23 convictions for Drunkenness and 14 Prohibition Orders.
