Popular Management of Pablic Houses.

SPREAD OP THE MOVEMENT IN SCOTLAND.

The experiments in the poblic-hoase management of the retail liquor trtffio which have bcea tried at Bill of Beath and Keliy, Fife, have led to a deiure <athißl part of otber#;tb introduce fcha game system in other localities, and to conduct the movement on a more exten sive scale. A company has been started in Glasgow, by a group of influential citizens, under the name of the 'Public- House Trust (Glasgow District), Limited/ and companies are, it is under stood, being promoted, and will shortly be incorporated la Kdinburgh and Paisley. Movements tending in a similar direction have been set on foot in Aberdeen, Dnnfermline, Kirkcaldy, and in various other places. From the prospectus of the Glasgow Company, whicii has just been issued to the public it appears that these various companies are co-operating with each ether, and with similar organisations in England, and that an influential central council has been formed to promote and stimu late the movement. The Glasgow Trust being, as its name implies, one of several similar trusts, the statements contained in its prospectus may be taken as fairly indicating the principles upon which the movement is proceeding. It is there stated that the reason which has led the promoters to form the Trust ia their belief that "tho public management of the retail liquor traffic will do much to promote sobriety and diminish drunkenness/ and they set forth as the principle underlying the methods ||which they propose to follow the elimination, so far a? possible of private profit in connection with thft sale of alcoholic liquoK With these ends in view the Trust proposes "to take up and manage new licences which the authorities may deem it necessary to grant, and also to acquire existing licences if obtainable on reas« onable terms." The Trust proposes to pay its shareholders a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent per annum upon their capital. The surplaß profit* which may remain after providing for this dividend and for depreciation etc, will be paid to trustees, "to be expend ed by them for the public benefit, with special regard to fostering counter attractions to the public house, and encouraging rational recreation and entertainment." The trustees are debarred from applying any of the surplus to direct relief of rates. The managers of the Trust houses will be p»id by a fixed salary, with no som— mission on sales of ;Uquor, hut with special inducements to sell food and other refreshments.
