Spirituous Liquors the Province osf Ontario
r
IT has become necessary to reduce again the amount of spirits which can
rbe purchas d by individual permit holders'in the Province of Ontario.
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 31-st,. 1942. That means that by the
order of the Dominion. Government there, became available in Ontario,,
• - for annual sale 1,15 3,594 gallons of proof spirits.
I
-Itis 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 forsale under the Dominion
Government Order P.C41374 can be distributed throughout the,whole
year. Due to the increase in the number of permits, and the extent to ,
which : the permitholders are purchasing spirits each month, it nog►'
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 simpleform exactly what bas been taking place:

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.
I ,
FROM THE (FIRST OF JUNE UNTIL THE END. OF' THE PRESENT
OPERATING YEAR EACH PERMIT HOLDER WILL BE PERM( 1-1'Eli
TO PURCHASE ONE BOTTLE (25 or 26 ounce) OF SPIRITS EVERY
TWO MONTHS OR TWO HALF -BOTTLES, WHEN, AVAILABLE.
