Fines Are Expected to Pay Prosecuting Expenses. To the Editor of the News-Recotd : Ait item which recently appeared in The News -Record referred, the fact that the. Centre Huron License ' Commissioners were going to ask the town council for a grant -of $100.00 towards enforcing the Liquor laws, and intimated that, the Council would have to supply thM e oney if asked 'to 'do Ttcause we had adopted Local Option. But I venture to say thait when the commissioners look up their instructions they will find that they have no sigh authority, and the Provincial goVernment have always taken the position, that in places where 'f,ocal Option has been carried that there is to be ni change in the matter of enforcement, the Government taking full responsibility for all expenses. Should however, the local constab- les have any expenses in enforcing the Liquor AOL, these expenses are borne by the towns but the town al- so gets the fines as well as the ex- penses when prosecutions are secured by the town's officers, arid it is the business of the -towin 'constables to secure such convictions, if any viol- ations take place, instead of wait- ing for the Province Inspector to do ti,o, There is no reason why the Liquor Act should not produce a surplus for the town treasury instead of taking 'money out of it. Another item appeared which said that' the 2 1 mills inerease in taxes this year was due to Local Option. The town will not receive this yea.r, the usual $900.00 for license fees and there will be about 9300.00, less taxes paid by the hotel keep- ers. 13iit against this total of 1200.00 loss is a net Profit ot $1000.00 from the Electric Liglit plant that the town gets this year for the 'first time, and which makes a net loss to the towe on these three item of $200.00, or less than one quarter or a mill, so that there must be an in- crease of 21, mills, caused by some Stanley Township additional expense for which Local Option is not responsible. And such. increase can, no doubt, be explained from the town's financial hudget, as prepared and passe.d by this years 0051111.* Thanking you tor givins this letter space, I am. , Your truly, A.
