IRELAND TRIES NEW DRINK TRAFFIC PLAN DUBLIN, June 18. The Free State is about to handle the question of the drink traffic. There are 15,000 houses in the Free State licensed to sell drink, and some very small towns have as many as 70 saloons. It is not proposed to diminish the number of these 11- censes, as it is recognized by the government that it ought to pay compensation for extinguished 11- censes.
The government licensing bill will not be drastic enough to satisfy the temperance party: It deals principally with the open hours, which will be from 9 a. m. till 10 p.m. except on Saturdays when the hour of closing will be 9 p. m.
All clubs are put on the same footing as public houses. The most controversial of the opposed reforms is that which compels the sale of drink to be carried on separately from the sale of other articles. It 18 a universal practice in dreland, to have shops which sell same counter drink, groceries, and sometimes clothes and hardware. Under terms of the government bill the drink traffic and the publican's other business must be conducted in separate compartments, each in a special portion of premises with a separate entrance. This is vigorously opposed by the licensed trade, which declares that the necessary reconstruction of premises would cost the trade over $20,000,000.
