In doing so, I may remark that on the 23rd July last I decided to issue permits authorizing hotel keepers to import into the Territories and sell upon their premises a light beer containing an alcoholic strength not exceeding four per cent. Stringent precautions were adopted for securing a guarantee of the respectability of the persons to whom such permits would be granted, and such rules were laid down as were thought would best ensure the prevention of any abuse of the privilege. The result of this action on my part was alluded to by the Auditor of the NorthWest Government in his report for the past year, wherein he stated that there was a marked decrease in the demand for liquor permits since the issue of "sale permits for beer," and at the same time an increase in the revenue. I have the honor to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, J. ROYAL, Lieutenant Governor of the North-West Territories. |
