sale of spirituous liquors in the province of ontario it has become necessary to reduce again the amount of spirits which can ibe purchased by individual permit holders in the province of ontario this is something over which the liquor control board of ontario has no discretionary authority under pc 11374 the dominion govern ment limited the amount of spirits which could be obtained for sale in the province of ontario to 70 percent of the amount obtained from november 1st 1941 to october 31st 1942 that means that by the order of the dominion government there became available in ontario for annual sale 1153594 gallons of proof spirits it is a problem in simple arithmetic all that the board can do is to adjust the quantity available to holders of permits so that the total amount procurable for sale under the dominion government order pc 1 1374 can be distributed throughout the whole year due to the increase in the number of permits and the extent to which the permit holders are purchasing spirits each month it now becomes necessary to reduce the amount which can be purchased by individual permit holders or there will be no spirits available for sale during the closing
