Little Prospect of Cut
In B. C’s. Drinking Cost
The high cost of drinking in
British Columbia is certain to
remain high as long as present
taxation costs continue, despite
public protests, according t'o a
summary cff the situation pre
sented by representatives of
the liquor control board.
The board said it could not
cut prices so long as the domin
ion government continued to
take as large a profit as the
provincial government. Be
tween them, the two govern
ments take 50 per cent of (the
net profit on the average bot
tle of liquor sold at Victoria
and both insist they need the
money. Until they are willing
to take less, there seems to be
no prospect that British Colum
bia drinkers will be able to oil
their whistles at less cost.
