Increase In Drunkenness?
He had been surprised to receive a letter from a woman calling upon him as Mayor of the town to take steps to stop the increase in drunkeriness in and around Levih, said Mr. H. B. Burdekin at last night's meeting of the Levin Borough Council. He personally had not observed a sudden failing in temperance in the town, commented Mr. Burdekin. In fact in this regard Levin was almost exemplary. He would, of course, act on the l.etter and refer it to the sergeant of police, and he would also ask the woman concerne'd to state times and places before makihg such sweeping statements. • * "I think we should nresent you With & shei'iff's badge," cdiiimehted Cr. R. S. Antcliff.
