Reported Inte rest Rates Will Be Lowered

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire) OTTAWA, July 23—Reports were cuilzelit in Ottawa again today that a further reduction of inter- cst rates on savings deposits would shortly be announced, but no of- ficial comment could be secured. It. is known. however, that the Government favors a further re- dluction to two percent on such de- posits. Any announcement would come from the banks themselves. Repeatedly during the last ses- sion of Parliament and before the house committee on banking and commerce. members of the Gov- ernment agreed with expression of opinion that interest charges were too high. The government's at- titude toward this question was further emphasized when legislat- ion was enacted designed to hold (lmvn to a minimum the charges that loan and discount companies could exact from borrowers, Undoubtedly the banks would prefer to leave savings 1111-611“ rates whcre they are since they dc- sire to maintain deposits at a high level to cover their own lending operations bu-t if the oovemnnerlt expresses strongly a desire that such a downward revision be mlidé the banks would! probably BETW- Hon.

Beer By The Glass Will Be Dispensed Under New Regulations Of gntt. Liquor Control

c .

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

TORONTO. July Zii-From the cash-and-carry system Ontario goes back to the speedier method of "pay-pi-osit." for consumption of beer and wine.

No more will Mr. John Q. Pub- lic have to take his beverage homo or to his hotel room and drink it in the confines thereof. The new regulations of the Ontario Liquor Control Act allow him to buy openly by the glass in hotel drin- ing r , in hotel beverage rooms, and, under certain condi-

Her‘ on trains and boats.

But the embellishments of the old, old days are missing. There will be no glistening bar at which Mr. J. Q. P. can stand, rest an elbow nonchalantly on the top and paw tentatively with one foot at s shiny low rail while he sips his beer.

Tomorrow ne may drink beer and wine with his meals in a hotel din- ing rooin. If he doesn't feel hungry, he may walk into the beverage 700m to slake his thirst with beer --at so much per slake. expected: to be 10 cents for a l0 or IZ-ourice glass. He m/ust be seated at a table.

Preparations for open sale have been under way for nearly two weeks. since proclamation of the new regulations was made. "Auth- orities" have been issued to stand- ard hotels and other qualified agencies, Hotelmen have prepared to inagurate old bar rooms or other quarters that now will be known as beverage rooms.

Restaurants will not. be allowed to sell. Their problem may be con- sidered by the time the liquor boardrs fiscal year ends October 81.

‘The Government of Premier Mitchell Hepburn. elected last June l9, has let it be known any extension of the selling privilege will be slow and that," public opin- ion largeiy will determine what further action will be taken.

The Premier today said would be no sale in tourists camps, and that all efforts would be made to prevent abuse of the new regu- lations.

Hours for sale will be from 10 a. m, until midnight, standard time. though the commission has the right to regulate hours in the va/r- ious municipalities.

For the second time since the new regulations were proclaimed. the price of beer was cut, effective tomorrow. in an announcement to- day. 'l'he second l0-cent NGUCHOII puts the price of miost becr for one down quarts at $2.70, with some brands a. little higher. A half dozen quarts will cost $1.35, and pints by the dozen or half dozen are ne- duced in proportion. A slight 1'0- duotion in the value of returned "empties" will be made n0 the end of this month, officials of the brewers‘ warehouse company said.
