Mr. _lanies llaton followed with :1 nurnhcr of facts

which left Mr. l`lell‘s arguments vt-ry much in the air. With reference to the enforcement of the law he sub- mitted ollicial figures comparing the past with the pre- sent. He produced police court records showing that in the thirteen years, 1890 to 1902 convictions for drunkeness' were 2898. while in the thirteen years. lg02,to 1915 convictions for this offence were reduc-- ed to 2401, a betterment of 497.'
