Americans Get 54,000 OnUrio Liquor Permits Sale* to Tourists in Five Months of '27 Operation Estimated at $432,000 in Hard Drinks and "• Wine Beer Substantial Item Toronto. â€" American tourists con mmed a lot of governmeat liquor In Ontario durlne the fiscal year 1927. Juat how much haa not been revealed hy the Hanna Control Board. Dut when It U considered that during the flye months of the year the stores were in operation 64,000 permits wore bought by vtsltora from over the line. there is erery reaaon to bellere that at least 108,000 bottles of one content or another were emptied by the same transients. Two Bales for each permit may be a ridiculously low estimate, but even oa that basis the tourists did not do at all badly by Mr. Ilanna and hi.t control coffers. Most \merlcaua like their Scotch or Bourbon. One aver- ages $4 In prl<-e and the other $3.50.1 8o if $4 were chalked up against each of the lOS.OOO bottles It means that' tnurlHts from the United States upont ' 1132,000 In liquor purchoes in the! province. The 1108,000 which they! rpcnt tor their permits brings the I total estimated expenditure to $540.-' 000. j The actual figures may be far in ot- reas of this estimate for not all Aiiiert- can tourists last summer limited tltom- celrea to two purchases. -1. :â-  a. .^1 How Mack Longer Will the Canadian People Stand for This WasteM Proc edure? \ DISTANCE- PR.OM HEAD OF LAKE-S TO POM COLBOR.M& Q50 MILE-S PR.E-I0.HT cost 3 CEMTS PE-K BU5HE-L 500.000 BU5HE-LS CAKME-O AS OHE- C^(V.GO 1 DISTANCE- I I POM Cou>oiuie--MotiTa»AL 565 m/Ver 1 I PRPIGHT COST 6 CE-MTS PfrK SUSH»L 1 I 50aOOO &USHB-LS IN SIX CAfWGOfrS I This diagram lllustrittM th* ineffl- clsnt method Canada ussa to gst bsr weatsm grain to markst.
