YEAR’S DRINK BILL.
NEW SOUTH WALES FIGURES. BIG INCREASE NOTED. Received December 8, 11.30 a.m. SYDNEY, Dec. 8. ■ The drink bill for the year ended June 30, 1926, was £12,633,000, equal to £5 9s lid per head of the population, being an increase of £963,000 or 6s 4d per head compared with the preceding year.
