Licensing Reform in Glasgow

THB ABOLITION OF BAB MAID&.

A passion for licensing reform hM taken possession of the authoritiw of Glasgow, and one outcome baa beeti the abolition of the barmaid.

A sub-committee of magistrate! re turned the other day from a visit to Liverpool full of admiration for tin* system for the suppression of drunken* ness and disorder and the reduction in the number of public-houses which they found in existence there. It seems that in Liverpool about tot year 1895 the police force* was reduced by 100 men, and within the last two years the force bag been again redaeed by 100 men, as crime bad continued to largely decrease: " The head constable* in recommending the Watch Commit tee in January, 1900, to allow tot police force to remain 100 men under strength, gave as hi* reasons for Kg doing that the continued and great diminution of crime and disorder, and the very satisfactory condition of the city in these respects, justified a de crease in the strength oi the police force. By adopting the recommen dation, the Watch Committee were abe to reduce the year's estimate of police expenditure by £6000, and should the reduction of strength remain permanent it will result in a saving to the city of about £3000 per annum.- 1 The deputation was satisfied that the great reduction waa due to (1) the action of the police, as directed by the Watch Committee, in the better supervision of licensed premises, and in securing the more rigid enforcement of the Licensing Acts, (2) the action of the licensing justices in (*) considering the application more thoroughly, (b) . considering the needs of the difterent localities, (c) refusing to renew licenses where not needed or where complaiuta are made, and (d) supporting the action, of the pclice ; (3) the action of the public, as represented at the licensing meetitgs by the Vigiiacca Committee of citizens.

| The deputation have submitted * number of recommendations, including one that the police should be asked to adopt a procedure similar to that fol lowed by Liverpool, and (1) to visit, inspect, and report on licensed pre« miaes ; (2) to issue caution notices to licenses; and (3) to warn licensees into whose premises a drunken person is seen Co enter, or in which a drunken person is found.

The Court of Magistrates decided that at the next licensing session, which was to be held within a few days of the last mail leaving, they would re fuse io renew the licenses of bouses (including restaurant?, theatres, rail way station refreshment rooms, and hotels) where barmaids are employed. Exception is made in the case of females who are license holders at* tending personally to their 6hop?, tha wives or daughters of license holders assisting iv shop?, and the femala assistants attending din?ng tables ia licensed premises. It seeing that the magistrate first mads this recommend ation two years ago. The interim chief constable some time ago asked the district superintendents to report on all license holders employing bar maids, and as the recommendation, ai stated, was madejtwo yetrs ago, tbey are »greed that the recommendation should now be rigidly enforced; Oom plaint is made by the ordinary publican that he is not allowed to employ bar maids, while restaurant keeper! who do a regular publichonee trade in ad dition to their restaurant business are allowed to make their bare attractive by the employment of barmaids,
