carefully availed myself of such information respecting this subject as was at our disposal, and after considering local circumstances submitted the draft regulations against which he now protested.

His argument states:

(a) The promises were purchased upon the assurance that every facility would be given for the establishment and extension of the business.

(b) The draft conditions to be annexed to the license were very onerous and imposed restrictions far beyond the requirements of other Governments.

Most of them are needless and dangerous.

(c) The restrictions contained in the Rules and Regulations to govern the business "have been framed by persons ignorant of the requirements and possibilities of such a business and with the vaguest notions as to the possible dangers to be guarded against."

(d) All sorts of difficulties are thrown in unnecessarily and obstacles are many.

The assumption that the proposed proceedings in connection with this establishment involve grave danger ought first to be proved.

Various points have been imposed in ignorance and decided against the promoters with a vague terror of some possible danger against them, without knowing why and by whom.
