In Seaforth, a town one- tenth the size, violations that same year totalled 107, approximately one- quarter of those of Stratford. Those figures • in Stratford are ex- ceptionally high and comparable to a city twice its size, like Kingston, Belleville and Peterborough. According to Stratford Deputy Chief Doug Hartung, "Either we have striet officers or an extremely serious problem." Under the liquor licence act, the Waterloo region acknowledges one arrest per 150 residents. In the approximate 10,1100 yearly population Covered y the Godeni OPP, there are three charges laid per one hundred residents. Although the fine for a violation of the liquor act rose to $63 as of August provincial court judge William G. Cochrane, of Goderich, said he did not think that the increased fine would be a significant deterrent. We get letters.... from page 4 at the suggestion of Mr. D.W.
