dc.description.abstract | The writer of an article in our leading journal (1)
says:?"The need of the moment is not to abolish the
public-house, but to reform it. The first step is to give a
very substantial preference in treatment to houses which
supply food over those that are only drinking dens. The
object must be to supply a place of rational entertainment
where a decent man can have a drink in peace, in
company with his wife and children." These observations
were made in commenting on the statistics of drunkenness
in Dublin referred to by Mr. Justice Dodd at the
opening of the City Commission at Green Street on February
1st, 1911. It was reported to him that, in the two
months which had elapsed since the December Commission,
there were 498 cases of drunkenness, as against 372
during the corresponding period in 1909. Notwithstanding
that he was assured by the police that drunkenness
was on the decline in the city. | en |
