Osgood, Pitcher & Service, Lee & Osgood Co. — have conclusive evidence of: A great di- minution in arrests for drunkenness; a falling off in arrests for misdemeanors; a falling off in cases of destitution due to drink; a marked diminution in the deaths from alcoholism; increased sav- ings on the part of wage earners. nsi These results have been obtained in sbite of a defiant and well financed organization on the part of the violators of the law, and no little laxity in its en- forcement. IV A study or the operation of the law indicates conclusively that the vol- jume of good results depends upon the [honesty, vigor and efficiency of the ad- ministration. It is therefore mot true, as frequently alleged, that it is impos- sible to control the drink habit. The hard facts show that many of its evil re- |sults have diminished. But they also show that we are now going through 2 period of reaction which is mot con- fined to the liquor law, but shows it- self in a disregard of many other laws. V The main impediments to the en- forcement of the Eighteenth Amendment are the low quality of many of the en- forcement officers, the unwillingness of many of the judges to impose adequate penalties upon offenders, and the indif- ference of nearly otherwise good citizens to the social aspects of the problem. HOPE TO BEGIN THEATRE BY MIDDLE OF DECEMBER Plans for the new theatre which Spitz & Steadman are to erect on the so-called Vaughn foundry property on which they have taken a 99 year lease are proceed- ing satisfactorily, according to A. A. Spitz of Providence, who was here on Thursday_to see the architects, Cud- worth & Thompson. 3 Mr. Spitz found that the architects | have pushed the work along so fast that) he is hopeful now that work can be be- gun on the site for the theatre as early as the middle of December, When the work is started it will be pushed along as fast as possible in order to make as| much ~ progress as possible before real winter weather sots in. In all the work that is to be done in building or equip- ment of the big theatre, Mr. Spitz states that Norwich contractors and Norwich stores will be given the preference in the contracts to be awurded. In addition to the building the theatre, Spitz & Steadman have decided to re- model the four story brick building that fronts on Ferry street on the foundry property.
