In Orillia one of the local news- papers wants a government liquor store established there because it is good for business. while it goes . ithout saying the--other newspap- ` er is opposing it because it is bad for business. Perhaps Barrie mer- chants will be surprised to learn they are reaping real benet througha liquor store being locat- ed there and Orillia mechants might Just as well obtain the same advantage." The `statement is sub- iect. to some discount as is the fol- lowing""from the same newspa er: There is no more drinking in ar- rie than there is here. Three big celebrations were held in Barrie the past summer with hundreds of visitors in the town and not a single arrest was necessary. Bar- rie papers are boasting of the so- briety and general ne conduct of the people there under the new law. There is also evidence in the `foregoing of a slight stretch of the imagination. There is no ques- tion but what the liquor store has brought many visitors to Barrie in- cluding those from Orillia. who would not otherwise have` come. Some have tarried in town longer than necessary. a few against their wishes, but whether or not these visitors took the elastic off their bank rolls in the stores. of the town i is a debatable question. We know i of a tipsy American -who purchas- ed three bathing suits the coldest - day in September, first because he stopped in Barrie to visit the gov- ernment emporium and second be- cause he couldn't buy a woollen bathing suit in his own country. , but perhaps this is an isolated case. Invariably a merchant's re- ply as to whether the government liquor store has hurt or helped his business, is tainted with his er- sonal views on prohibition. t is therefore of little value. This can be said, however, the new law commands more public respect, there `being absolutely no sym- pathy with offenders as under the 0.T.A., while the work or the pol- ice has been greatly _simpli_ed. It might also be said-in passing that more liquoraisvbeing consum- KING ed. I ' one suit in arrears.

It seems that the Chief ordered a $70 uni- form without the formality of se- curing a.signed order from his chairman. It also appears that the Chief has been nine years on the job and has only had eight suits and so, as he himself put it. he is 1 ever had a suit made on a chair- ` man's order.-but this year's coun- cil is more discriminatin than its . predecessors. The inci ent took w up a` considerable part of the council's time and after much wrangling the account was passed over the heads of the chairman of the police committee and a depu- t -reeve who claimed it was agin is `e law. Such incidents as these. however, are not at all uncommon at Town `Council meetings. This particular one created a regular furore, The Reformer says,_con- tinuing: The tempest in a tea- pot did not arise in connection with questions of such far-re-ach- ing importance as curb gas pumps or Saturday down-town parking. or new sidewalks for some of Sim- coe s residential districts, but from an causal-Gnu l\ Uvfr R11`- The Weekly Mirrbr V Rohoctihg in the News from Ontario Town Ndwtpapors coe's resiuentiui uiuuucua, uuu nu... a matter of innitely greater sig- nicance judzing from the warmth with which the question (who is going to pay for the Chief s suit) was argued.
