DRINK TRAFFIC DICTATORS
BRITISH RECOMMENDATION
ROYAL COMMISSION'S PLANS
IMPROVEMENT OF SERVICE
SOME URGE STATE CONTROL
By Telegraph—Pr*M Assn.—Copyright. Rec. 5.5 p.m. London, Dec. 20
The Royal Licensing Commission has decided to recommend the appointment of five dictators to supervise Britain’s drink traffic, their orders to be executed by licensing benches. The objectives of the scheme include closing hundreds of hotels, the standardising of hours, closer inspection of licensed premises and a better standard of comfort by which to encourage the public to use them as eating houses. The breweries will be required to contribute to a fund to compensate the closed surplus hotels.
A minority report submitted by temperance reformers urges nationalisation of breweries and hotels under the Carlisle system, buying them out and placing them under the control of a Parliamentary body.
