FEWER SALOONS
DECREASE IN LONDON “BARS” Eighteen hundred and forty saloons have been closed in the London area since the Licensing Act of 1904 went into effect'. That is 24 per eent. of th© saloons which existed in 1904. The number continues to decline annually, to the discomfort of owners of licensed premises, who are clamoring for the repeal of the Act on the ground that further reduction is not necessary. Owners are also endeavouring to hav© the closing hours altered in such a manner that they will be uniform throughout the London area. At present. many public houses must, close, at 10 at night, while those in neigh bouring boroughs may remain open till LI p.m.
