TRAFFIC IN DRUGS.
SYDNEY POLICE ANXIOUS. DELAY IN LEGISLATION. SYDNEY, Nov. 24. One of the bills which will have to stand over in consequence of the political situation is that concerning dealing in drugs. The police are concerned over the delay in the legislation, which would enable them to deal with the traffic. “The situation is decidedly serious,” said a police official to-day. “The sale of ‘snow’ and other drugs is increasing day by day. Agents are even canvassing houses, specially in the Darlinghurst section, offering the narcotics for sale. The number of people addicted to drugs is startling, and, unfortunately, the habit is increasing. “The bill, which lias been read for the second time, should be passed, and then the police would be able to deal with one of the most urgent matters known for some time in police circles.”
