This is something over which the Liquor Control Board of Ontario has no discretionary authority. Under P.C. 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 1,153,594 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 P.C. 11374 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 months of the present year. The following table shows in simple form exactly what, has been taking place: Number of Permits outstanding at month end Aggregate to fill Monthly ration monthly ration January, 1943 January, 1944 March, 1944 155,295 1,227,459 1,282,938', 160 oz: 26 or: 26 or: 108,702 proof gets: 139,623 proof gals: 145,934 proof gals. • A recent survey of the sales for the present year and the amount still available under the limits imposed by the Dominion Government make it necessary to limit purchases on the following basis as of the first of June. FROM THE FIRST OF JUNE' UNTIL THE END OF THE PRESENT OPERATING YEAR EACH PERMIT HOLDER WILL BE PERMITTED To PURCHASE ONE BOTTLE (25 or 26 ounce) OF SPIRITS EVERY TWO MONTHS OR TWO HALF-BOTTLES, WHEN AVAILABLE.
