fine in Show Window Notice the Low Prices Copied from The Pioneer We are the stage regards he relationship of the hotel public ho tel iisedto he a men congregated to talk smoke and drink whiskey I The forwhicTiwe was left in the background so much that license commis sioners used to niake annual trips of inspection to the various ho tels in the different counUes to make sure they had so hi any beds and were prepared lb feed so many people Yet in spite of all this which should fie unneces sary precaution the great rria- of the hotels catered to the bar and neglected to- up a good table The result was that when hotelkeepers bar was in danger he claimed he could not live without it as the table pro vided for is guests was furnish ed at a loss No wondei some of them were run at a loss and if their whis key had been as poor as their board they would have lost money on it too Rut the point is here a hotelkeeper is a man supposed to furnish living accommodation to people when they are away from home in other words a ho tel is a mans home when he is away from home And the lime has come when the public has against the bibulous wine- seller as a host and demands something good in the way of ac commodation for their money So it will he that when the presen order of the ordinary hotels is done away with a- new order Of hotels will Spring up in answer to the demands of the public Did you ever notice that where a demand for anything you will always see some persons corning lo satisfy that public de mand for trie sake of the money in it and when wo get this new order of hotels they will not be so thick as they used to be but you will find them right- where they ought to bo They will ac commodate themselves quality of accommodation It used to be that when the farmer left Holland Landing with a load of hogs for the market in Toronto he had to stop at a hotel for accommodation once every mile down Street The conditions are different to day In Holland Landing you will find not a hotel and there is only one licensed hotel all the way from the northern of Street to city limits The farmer sells his pork at home and puts his money in his pocket and has not the same need for such a string of licensed sa loons for stopping places The Hon Mr Hearst in making his reply to the deputation that vaitcd on him in the House in March last spoke of the necessity of temperance people fur nishing places of rest amusement and accommodation when hotels close because Government will not let them sell any more whiskey Owing to the rapid increase in the so briety of the great majority of is

buy and first- class hotel suitable for the needs of the public On the strength of this we carried Local Option by sixtyseven per cent of the votes cast and the repeal Vote came about a year ago the

grandparents carne country in lliey emi grated from York Stale in wag gons If they had postponed their trip for another century lliey would probably have taken the Diamond express When my father wept to get mar ried he went on horseback for want of a better way If he had been getting married today he would have availed himself of modern way of travelling and taken a Hudson car So it is that with the improvement in the means of travel people have less use each year for hotels f This is our experience in the Ling George Hotel in Newmarket Our manager Mr Geo Brown ells me that he a smaller motor trade last summer than in year simply because SO many motorists take their lunch with them eat on the way and save time Hut when hotels close whore will people go in town to spend an pur postoffices should have more accommodation for the public Tiis is a place where nearly every person has to come and it is ho unusual thing for people to stand crowded to gether in a small hallway waiting for their mail How much nicer and belter it would be if our post- offices had large waitingrooms and any amount of seats for the people to rest and talk while waiting for their mail Then again many of our crowded towns and cities are away behind in public parks gardens and athletic fields where people can spend their spare lime No man with a healthy mind will want to stay in the dark smoky dingy atmos phere of a publichouse when he can find more salubrious sur roundings somewhere else Our towns are making a mis take in building so thickly and in not making provision for the health of the people in parks and gardens If I wctq a wealthy philanthropist I would much pre fer to present every town in Can ada with a park than with a li brary Visit the city of old Lon don today and you see thous ands of acres in parks and squares and gardens ranging in size all the way from Oxford Cir cus and Leicester Square to large commons of These are the things that we should be shoving into town to supplant the barrooms When you have the price you can usually buy what you wan There will always be another fel low who wants your money and he will contrive some way to get it He will get it by giving you what you want for it So it will be that there shall bo hotels and meals and beds for everybody in Ibis beautiful Canada of ours It was a wise stroke of business in our Local Option campaign of when we formed that guar antee committee and promised the ratepayers and business men in case Local Option carried and the licensed hotels closed their doors that we would run a first- class hotel sufficient for the need of the town and surrounding country The noise and excite ment of victory had scarcely died away when one of our local pa pers and many of the people lo call on the guarantee com mittee to carry out their promise If one of our licenseholders had kept open and Carried on his hotel ft would have been a paying proposition and would have re lieved the people of the guaran tee committee from a great deal of responsibility for they all had business of their own lo look af ter and had no desire to start ho tel keeping especially as the ho tel men said there was no money in it without the whiskey When they found the hotel men had no intention of staying in business one of our citizens- pri vately bought the best fanners stand with thc yards and most conveniently located lo the market The next step was the formation of a joint stock com pany called the Newmarket Hotel Co Ltd We made the authorized capital so that if at any future time we wished to extend our business it would not be neces sary to go to the Government for permission to lake out a new is sue of stock shares of each of sole to a inJney bur fellows Aere just loyal enough the cpiuse to give their promissory notes

pretend they are in mortal fear of after their licenses are gone that is of someone bringing in a flask If the manager of the hotel is right himself ho will not have much trouble to keep that kind of busi ness out- There have been but very few isolated cases in the six years Mr Geo Brown has been manager of the King George lei in Newmarket That undesir able class soon finds out our man ager will not stand for such work and lliey are becoming scarcer every year Out of over eighty applications for the position of manager for our hotel in we were singu larly fortunate in getting a very worthy couple in the persons of Mr and Mrs much all the management in left in their hands such as engaging and managing all of the help the purchase of supplies in fact all the directors do is to meet once a month pass the accounts for supplies for the last month and give the secretary power to issue checks for payment of the same We generally have a banquet at our annual meeting and always pay the annual six per cent divi dend at that lime The amount of this dividend has always been the same since lhe opening of the hotel in and has not been affected by the war This hotel is one of the new order of hotels that it is a treat to Inspect and we shall have many more of them in the near future I think it is duly de volving on the public spirited of every municipality where here is need for public accommodation to furnish it and that the muni cipal councils should give such assistance as- may bo necessary in each parlfcular case One thing that is lhe present time com pensation to the present license- holders will never bo tolerated for one moment Rather let the licenseholders compensate the Government for the extra expense entailed in the upkeep of public Institutions by reason of the pro duct of their bars At 3 oclock last Sunday morn- Mr and Frank Sullivan- were awakened in their house on Street near whero Hie Toil Gate stood by smoke coining the room They went down stairs at once and found the kit chen full of smoke and in a few moments the whole North side was in a blaze Hastily putting on clothing they succeeded in contents of the par lor spare bedroom and closet every thine

account ing for how the fire started unless it was caused by mice and match es as its origin was in the pantry The loss is said to be about with small insurance Mr Sullivan talks of rebuilding soon as
