a The _Police Magistrate„ and
0 Chief of Police are Favorable
to 1Lfocal Option,.
It will be observed that Orillia carried Local Option, but the bydaw
$ was queshed on a tech n icality. The Government, however. exercised the
to power and no 11C0400 will be granted there during the three years'
,$Orillia as follows :
period. .
The Police Magietrate testifies to the success of Local Option in
"It is somewhat difficult for me to Rive statistics in the matter, as
$ the circumstances are so different. Under the license system a man
had to be both drunk and disorderly before the police ran him in. Un-
$der the present system if 41 person appears on the street in a state of
intoxication he is pinched at once. The consequence is that a drunk
man is as scarce an article on the streets now tie he was plentiful be-
fore. You will understand, therefore, that. crime hits decreased in a
$
like ratio. Six months previous to the passing of Locel Option the
County Crown Attorney who only appears in the more serious cases)
appeared in my ceure here sixteen times while for the six months after
$
the licenses were cut off he only had to come here once. The work in
the police court has fallen off to about one-fourth what it was under the
$ licence system.
"We had considerable trouble, here, the first few months after the
licenses were cut off, the whiskey people evidently thinking thnt the
law would nct be enforced and that they could go on and sell and
defy the powers, Ind when they learned that the people of the town
were behind the enforcement of the law. and that they ,nut live up to

Roy take the conseqnences, tbe consequences being flees of 100 to $100 $
for infractions, with gaol as alternative. they have walked very circtins-
speedy, and, I believe the majority of the hotel keepers are now living
up to the requirements of the law fairly well. There is no open flag-
rant selling, and it is harder to get a drink in Orillia than it is for an
outsider to get into a Masonic lodge.
"Of course the thirsty ones can get all they want by going to
Atherley, three miles away, but an Atherley jag, if the jagged. one falls
into the hands of the police. costs $10 to $12, besides the amount spent
for the cause, and few there are that care to try the experiment.

The following letter, written by the ()hief of Police, Speaks OOP-
. vincingly es to the success of Local Option in Orillia. He says -
:
reply to yonr request for the opinion of the police of the town
$
as to the benefit Local Option has been in COIN I beg to state. Both
for myself and the men under' Me, that the passing of the Local Option
By-law was one of of the hest things that ever happened in the town.
$
With the corning of Local Optinn thework of the police fore . has
lessened considerably. For the six months prior to May the lst1 was
A called out of my bed after midnight three times to quell drunken rows. •
7In one case the man had kicked his wife end four little children oueon
0 the street and t.heeatened•to kill them if they poked their noses inside.
A Together with another policeman I succeeded in arresting him and he
7 was sent to the County jail for three menths. I may say thet Since )
9 Local Option came into force this man has etrainhteneh up told has eon -
'A neeted himself with one of. thh, thwn churches. A seccutd ease was
that of a Thr. "thee wife was lying on her death bed and who creat-
ed such a drunken disturbance that we were compelled to lock him up.
;
When he sobered up, the magistrate let him go on suspended sentence
on account of the death of his wife. This man has not been seen the
A worse of liquor since L'ocal Option came in force. • The thh•d case was
ve that of adrunken man smashing things in the house while his wife lay ,
f in bed with a baby two da,vs old, This man has also leen e peaceable, ft
law-abiding citizen since May the 1st. A
"Prior to Local Option it was a very rare night that we did not T,
have at least one drunk in the lockup. Now drunks are SQ rare that 9
we scarcely ever have one in the building. One other very creditable
that :
thing at can be traced to Local Option is the quiet way in which the
crowds behave on market days Last year when the Christmas crowds
were on the stret ts. the whole police force Was kept busy keeping or-
der and making it possible fer the shoppers to get round without. be-
ing jostled by drunken men. This year, withas many if not more
people in town, there is no call for the police to he moving about and •
there is no discomfort to ladies or children from that enure% The
ehange in that respect is .remarkable. On a Saturday night ender
' license. it was himosible to get off the street for supper before the bars
were closed, Now the fariners go home in good time and sober, and
we have no trouble with the men calm fornaerly kept us on the Move- •
whenever they came in town. .
Option Under the license system we were • constantly pestered with
. • "The whole moral tone of the town bets:been improved under Level $
billed pigs or unlicensed dives and specially honsee of ill fame. Now :
there is not one of these houses to be found in the town or io the out- ,
skirts. There was scarcely a time under the license when the streets
.were free from the presence of the inmates of these houses. Now we :
never see one. .There has been a great reduction of crime of all sorts •
since May the at, and so far as the police • are • concerned, there is no
besire to go back to the license system, ,
