Another is the loss of. wages directly Paid by hotels, breweries, and wine and spirit merchants, amounting each year to over £1,650,000. Wages would also be lost in allied industries.. More new taxes would be required for a great new army of unemployed. •That is not all.. Another £500,000 would be required for hopeless enforcement, measures.
