There are two ways of importing spirituous liquors: in bulk (casks) and in bottles. The Commission imports in bottles from the United Kingdom and the Continent the brands most in demand, but it also imports first quality products in bulk. The latter are imported at 100 degrees proof, which is too strong for purposes of consumption. The Commission thereby saves 25 per cent in duty and transportation charges, for on goods imported in bottles it is obliged to pay duty and carrying charges on 25 per cent water. The saving is considerable in view of the quantities imported.

The popularity of the Commission's special brands is ample evidence that the public is fully aware of the perfection of its bottling 1 processes. By purchasing in the province of Quebec the supplies for its bottling department; the Liquor Commission also contributes to the prosperity of several of our industries which receive every year hundreds of thousands of The public, aware, of these wise economies, will' realize, in spite of all the expenditures which it is forced to make over and above the cost price of the spirits, that the Liquor Commission can 'offer these products at lower prices thaa are paid in other provinces. EXTRACT from the testimony of the President of the Liquor Commission at the Parliamentary inquiry into its operation. Witness: "Now, as to the advantage we obtain by Commission bottling and from which the consumer benefits, this is evident from the prices we ask for the goods the brands (here follow the names of the best known brands of Scotch) which we sell at $3.50 and $3.75 a bottle. If these goods were bottled on the other side, we would have to sell them at $4.00 and $4.25 a bottle, the same as they are sold in the other provinces.

The advantage is obvious. We purchase for bottling purposes an average of200fi00 gallons a year. As these spirits are purchased at proof and case goods are sold at 25 per cent, under proof, this means that case goods come to us with 25 per cent water. We therefore pay carrying charges on 25 per cent water. 25 per cent on 200fl00 gallons, that means we would pay transportation on SOJOOO gallons of water." "Besides carrying charges on the merchandise, you also "make a saving on the alcoholic content?" "It is easily figured: we save $1.00 a gallon on 200fi00 Question'Have yoa any farther ex planation?" Answer: "There are other advantages.

As we pay $8 JO a gross for bottles, we contribute to the industries of the province, for spirits alone, $850,000 which they would not have if we purchased case goods on the other side. Then there is the case makers. And, besides, the-employees in our bottling department." Britain; Captain J. L. Bennett, de- ri.
