By special arrangement, The Bulletin prints it in advance: Hard times are less hard in Nerwich for two classes of people than good times were—that is, they are less hard when they are dry as well as hard. The | two classes affected are the extremes of the financial scale; the poor who have but little margm in reserve and who, are casily driven over the border line between self-support and need of char- ity; and the folk who are richer in this world's goods and who are called .upon ito make good the deficit in their poorer neighbors’ budgets throush charity. The vear 1316 was quite a prosper- ous year in Norwich.

It was wet— very wet in Norwich. There. were 81 ordimary retail MNquor licenses, one wholesale liquor licemse, two beer I-. censes and. 19 druggists’ lcenses held in the community. It costs real momey to mamtain the holders of all these li- censes in a state of luxury, to.pay the salaries of the mixologists, rent, . etc., etc., so many a lad went barefoot and many a lassie lacked the clothes she needed. Norwich had to maintain her saloons. And she did. The following year, 1817, was not a prohibition year. In spite of that the number of persons applying for heip on the “Outside Poor Fumd” dropped from § to 178 And prohibition can't claim any of the credit for it either. But walt @ moment. In that year there was a decrease In the number of M- censed saloons in Norwich. Exactly 23 saloons went out of business, leaving 71 to offer a brass rail to a wearied foot and a molished bar to a flexible el- bow.
