BRITAIN’S DRINK TRAFFIC
ROYAL COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, December 20. The Royal Licensing Commission has decided to recommend the appointment of five dictators to supervise Britain’s drink traffic. Their orders will bo executed by the licensing benches, the objectives including the closing of hundreds of hotels, the standardising of hours, closer inspection of licensed promises, and a better'standard of comfort by which to encourage the public to use them as eating houses. Breweries will be required to contribute to a fund with which to compensate the closed surplus hotels. A minority report of temperance reformers urges the nationalisation _of breweries and hotels under the Carlisle system,* buying them out and placing them under the control of a parliamentary body.
