Objects and Reasons.

The main object of this bill is to prohibit the sale, except for cash, of intoxicating liquors to be consumed on any licensed premises, unless such sale is to a resi- dent at an hotel, or is of liquor to be consumed at a bonâ fide meal at an hotel or restaurant,

The opportunity is taken to make two slight changes in the provisions of the principal Ordinance relating to import and export statements. One is to provide that import and export statements relating to intoxicating liquor must be on a separate form from all other returns so that it will not be possible to require the Superin- tendent laboriously to collect the necessary particulars from the ships' manifests which are furnished to him under a different Ordinance and for an entirely different purpose. Another change is the insertion of a provision requiring the furnishing of "nil" returns, Le. returns to the effect that no liquor has been imported or exported on the ship in question, to be used in cases where no such importation or exportation has taken place. At present the obligation is to furnish returns where liquor has been imported or exported. These alterations will not really throw any fresh burden on ship owners as it is already the general practice to furnish liquor returns on a separate form and to furnish "uil" returns. bill provides special forms for these returns.
