GENERAL
Reduced Drink Bill
Writing to the press with reference to Mr. Talbot Power's speech at the annual meeting of the Licensed Grocers' and Vintners' Association, Mr. Wilkinson, secretary of the Irish Temperance League, says : 'If the multiplication of the facilities for obtaining intoxicating drink's does not produce drunkenness, it is curious that the arrests for drunkenness last year were 9501 less than in 1902, and that the licenses issued for the sale of intoxicating drinks last year were 1113 fewer than those issued in 1902, and also that the drink bill of Ireland for last year was £494,716 less than in the previous year.'
