Local Option In Midland. •
. 0
The report, that are circulated against local option in thie town $
are made by people who have no pi inciple and who minuet back up
their statements, their purpose befog to benefit their own, end. I aus
positive these reportcome from people interested in the liquor busi- *
nese directly or indirectly. Of course 1 don't say their) is no liquor
sold in the town. 1 thin, CIO matter what law there is. this will go
on. It ie against the law to eteal and a good many other things, but
yet they are done.
Ever 'since local option was passed in Midland I have noticed tt
change in the town, and I run pesitive that the wives and children of a
good many men have reaped great benefit by it. I ant pleased that
you found the Queen's Hotel up to the mark. .

In answer to your inquiry, I have no heeitation in saying that 1 eon
-
eider local option a success here, anci a great benefit to the town.
My observations of its working have largely been in connection
with the workmen of the firm with which I atu connected. Previous
to the closing of the hats it, was a usual thing for many of our men to
he abeent from duty for two or three days after enth pay day, and at•
ter any shoe down. of the works we always bad difficulty in getting a
full staff for starting up again. * In the advent of local option tide has
ceased. We now experience no difficulty after pay days or after tern-
!
porary shut downs. Unquestionably local option has given us wore
steady, reliab e and contented workmen.
The laboring class were the litrgest gaitters by the closing of the
- bars. This Is borne out by the fact that we are now served with fewer
garnishees Against our employees' wages than was formerly the ease.
indicating thet they are paying their obligations as they go along and
$• in many cases liquidating old debts.
The condition of our streets and the atinnsphere prevading them
speaks so well for the effectiveness of local option to those acquainted
with former conditions, that tins phase of the question requires no
comrnent.
$
Notwithstanding the fact that there is room for itnproveruent in
the enforcement or the taw, I am eonvinced of its success here from it,
moral, material aud financial standpoint, and if the quesm
tion came up
$
again I would vote for its continuance>.

Local Option in Midland has been a great snccess in every way. :
$Men who used to spend their. money in the hotels now take it home to.
their families and provide food and clothing for t hete, which they had
:
trot done before. You can weik the streets night or dayand yen can-
not see a drunken may, but, before kcal option cami
e nto force you
could see them any time, night or (ley. • .
Local Option has not injured business in any way: in fact Mildness
Is better theta it has ever b.een. I have been infot wed by the managers
of two of the leading stores, Messrs. Playfair & Preston, and J. B. Her- .
rell tis Son, thet they have done a larger trade during the past two '
years than ever before, and more than that, they inform me that they .-
have received payment of old accounts contracted: before loud option
came into force, because moneys that went, to the bar -room now go to
pay aca Godsend for t he • Town of Midland to get Loma -Option and I know $
eounts.
I say, as I have airways said in everyplace I haveheen, that it was
whereof I spear, having lived in this town for twenty years.

Everyone knows that the jewellery business is one to suffer. first A

1 think Local Option the best thing ever struck the town. Form-
- . .
erly we carried a considerable credit business. This summer there is s
very little credit. 'Everybody seems to have ready money. . $
Then look at the growth of our town, with no new railways or any-
thing special to cause it. lOnsust, he because the working people are
spending their money in homes. • • •
We have the best hotels north of Torouto. ' Liquor is brought in.
It is so conyenient to get it from Penetang by outlaws and those who
will drink anyway. I believe in five years' time we will have prohibi.
tion and that will set this matter all right. • 'My business is on the mein
street, opposite one of the hotels, and -Ilive on a back street, but I do
not know of a shagle place 'gelling lumor. The Queen's Hotel, in which
1 am a shareholder, should he enlarged, AS we cannot accommodate the
public. ' • J.B. STRATHERNI Jeweller
•
It is a good thing for the town. I amquite satisfied to have Local
Option in this or any tOwn. I did not always thiuk so. Two weeks
before the vote I thought the other way. My difficulty was compen- ,
:
hand the injustice of the monopoly granted'to the liquor dealera under -
mann for the liquor dealers, but thinking it over, I saw ou the other
the license system. I &leo saw the great injustice deme to the wives
and children of drinking mea, ' J. U. SWALLOW, Jeweller
