A., just recent- ly coining into force, the penalties for inebriates are somewhat heavier, es- pecially in the second offence class. The first offenders were, under the old dispensation, fined from $10 to $100 with theminiinum being the rule. The jail option was "not less than ten days." The option now is, "not less than 30 days." Under the new Act the first of- fenders have a minimum of $10, but the maximum has been raised to $500. In the sesond offence it used to be $50, or one month. Now it is not less than $200 or more than $1,000, with the option of two to four months. In the third offence the act is the same, not less than three months and not leshs an six months with no option of a fine. There is no change there.
