Our Drink Bill
New Zealand's drink bill for 1908 amounts to the tidy fortune of £3,751,968. This represents (says a Press Association message) ' the cost to cons\imers of all liquoi passed through the Customs -and Excise at per gallon rates, and is therefore much under the actual cost.' It is some comfort to learn that the figures given above represent ' a reduction of 4-id per head of the population.* Wo must be thankful even for this small mercy.
