GOVERNMENT LIQUOR
PROFITS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
(Australian and N.Z. Press Association) VANCOUVER, Sunday.
Official returns show that British Columbia, under Government sale of liquor, spends £6 annually lor every man, woman and child of the population of 600,000.
The liquor sales have advanced about £200,000 annually to the present total of £3,600,000. The Government is making a profit of 20 per cent., half of which is divided between the hospitals and the mothers’ pensions system. It works better than anything previously tried in Western Canada.
