" GOVERNMENT LIQUOR ACT AMENDMENT ACT, 1932."
At the 1932 session of the Legislature amendments to the " Government Liquor Act" were
passed in respect of the following sections:—
Section 2 was amended In respect of the definition of a prescription by deleting the following words:   "in the form prescribed by the regulations."    (See also amendment to section 22.)
Section 3 was amended to provide a special price at which pure grain alcohol may be sold
to any department, branch, or institution of the Executive Government of the Province or the
Dominion.
Section 22 was amended in order to eliminate the necessity of physicians using prescriptions
in the prescribed form when prescribing liquor for the health of a patient.
Subsection (1) of section 20 was amended to provide that no club licence shall be issued to
any club which has not been in continuous operation for at least three years immediately prior
to the date of its application for a club licence; and also to provide that applicants for club
licences shall advertise in the prescribed form for at least four weeks preceding the application
giving notice of intention to apply to the Liquor Control Board for a licence.
Subsection (1) of section 26a was amended to provide for applicants for veterans' club
licences being required to give notice of their intention to apply for a veterans' club licence by
advertisement in a newspaper published in the locality in which the premises are situate for at
least four weeks preceding the application.
Subsection (11) of section 27 was amended to provide that section 27 of the " Government
Liquor Act" shall not apply to any polling division or group of polling divisions or electoral
district unless an affirmative majority of not less than fifty-five per centum of the total votes N 6 BRITISH COLUMBIA.
given be cast in favour of the sale of beer by the glass or open bottle in licensed premises in
such polling division, group of polling divisions, or electoral district, as the case may be.
Subsection (12) was added to section 27 to provide that in the case of any polling division,
group of polling divisions, or electoral district in respect of which section 27 applies by virtue
of a Proclamation issued under subsection (11), and if upon the submission by the Lieutenant-
Governor in Council of the question to a vote of the electors thereof pursuant to the provisions
of the ''Liquor-control Plebiscites Act" it is shown by a certificate of the Returning Officer
that a vote of not less than fifty-five per centum of the total votes given is in favour of suppressing the sale of beer by the glass in licensed premises, then the Lieutenant-Governor in Council
shall, by Proclamation, direct that section 27 shall cease to apply in that polling division, group
of polling divisions, or electoral district.
Section 36 of the " Government Liquor Act," which provides for a permit for the transportation of liquor by water, was repealed.
Section 68 was amended to provide for notification being sent to all A'endors, and to the
holders of beer licences, veterans' club licences, and club licences, in regard to the orders of
revocation of orders of interdiction made pursuant to the provisions of this section.
Section 102 was repealed and re-enacted to provide for a Board consisting of not more than
three members. The Lieutenant-Governor in Council may, in his discretion, appoint one member
as Chairman of the Board and may fix the number of members who may constitute a quorum,
and if there be only one member of the Board he shall be for all intents and purposes deemed
to be the Chairman. Provision is also made for the appointment of a person to act in the place
of the Chairman during his absence for any cause.
Section 105 is amended to coincide with a Board consisting of one person.
Section 118 is amended by adding thereto subsection (4), which sets out the procedure to
be followed in apportioning payments to municipalities when a public school is closed by
competent authority either wholly or in part by reason of any contagious or infectious disease
existing in a municipality.
GOVERNMENT LIQUOR STORES.
During the period under review arrangements were made to vacate certain premises occupied
as Government Liquor Stores and new premises were obtained in an endeavour to improve the
appearance and service at the following points : Atlin ; Burns Lake ; Cloverdale; New AA'est-
minster;   775 Davie Street, A'ancouver:   716 Johnson Street. Alctoria.
For particulars in regard to leases, rentals, etc., see Appendix C.
Due to the decrease in the volume of sales the Board obtained lower rentals at various
points, and the decreased rentals obtained during this period will amount in the aggregate to
approximately $-1,818 per annum.
Satisfactory premises could not be obtained at Atlin and the Board erected suitable premises
on Crown lands.
The Government Liquor Store at 1213 Granville Street, A'ancouver, was closed, and a new
store opened in specially constructed premises at 775 Davie Street, which location was found to
be more desirable from a traffic standpoint.
STOCKS.
The value of the stocks of liquor on hand at March 31st, 1932, amounted to $1,163,399.68,
lieing an increase of $95,576.74 over the inventory figure on the same date in the previous year.
SALES.
The total sales of $11,753,942.39 for the period under review show a decrease under the
previous period of $2,981,480.33. REPORT OF LIQUOR CONTROL BOARD, 1931-32. N 7

Total    $11,753,942.39
Eastern Canadian beer and ale (bottled) and Dutch (imported) lager beer (bottled) were
placed on sale in Government Liquor Stores in the early summer of 1931; the sales during the
period amounted to $107,899, or 1.4 per cent of the total sales.
A point of particular interest is the fact that the total sales of all kinds of liquor decreased
20.2 per cent, during the period under review, and the sales of British Columbia wine decreased
only 3.8 per cent., thus again indicating the popularity of loganberry wine.
In view of British Columbia being a large exporter of various commodities to the Commonwealth of Australia, and also in view of the Treaty which was recently brought into effect
between Canada and Australia, the Board carries perhaps the greatest variety of Australian
wines in Canada. Comparatively speaking, the amount involved is small, but the Board's efforts
to stimulate trade between the two countries appear to have been justified by the consistent
increase each year in the consumption of Australian wines.
DUTY, EXCISE, AND SALES TAX.
The duty, excise, and sales tax paid to the Federal Government during the period under
review amounted to $2,571,913.61, the details of which are as follows:—
Duty   $2,066,455.63
Excise        299,289.76
Sales tax        206,168.22
Total  $2,571,913.61
On June 2nd, 1931, the sales tax on imported and domestic goods was increased from 1 per
cent, to 4 per cent., and an excise tax of 1 per cent, was levied on imported goods. N 8

Nineteen individual liquor permits were cancelled during the period, under section 18 of the
" Government Liquor Act."

The sum of $576.18 was collected during the period as tax on liquor not purchased at a

Interdiction orders made pursuant to the provisions of section 66 of the " Government
Liquor Act " numbered 138, being an increase of 22 over the previous year.
Eighty-three orders of revocation of orders of interdiction were made by interdiction officials
pursuant to the provisions of section 68 of the Act, this number being a decrease of 14 under

PENALTIES AND PROCEDURE.
Destruction of liquor forfeited to the Crown and held by the Liquor Control Board was
authorized by the following Orders in Council:—
Order in Council. Approved.
No. 523 April   29, 1931.
No. 969 July    28, 1931.
No. 1330 Oct.     28, 1931.
No. 1448 Nov.     20, 1931.
No. 170 Feb.     12, 1932,
INSPECTION DEPARTMENT.
At the 1923 session of the Legislature provision was made for the issuance of club licences,
and in 1924 the Board issued 58 club licences throughout the Province. Since that time the
number of licensed premises has considerably increased, clue to the amendments to the " Government Liquor Act " which provides for the issuance of beer licences and veterans' club licences.
On March 31st, 1932, there were 384 licensed premises in the Province, 306 of which were
covered by beer licences, 30 by veterans' club licences, and 48 by club licences. Administration
of those sections of the Act affecting licensed premises is often very difficult, more particularly
in the larger centres of population, which necessitates constant inspection and supervision by
the Board's Inspectors. During the period under review 756 inspections of licensed premises
were carried out, thereby enabling the Board to keep fully informed in regard to conditions
pertaining thereto. In those hotels in which beer-parlours are situate the Board has been able
to encourage and in many cases bring pressure to bear on the proprietors to improve not only
the licensed premises, but also hotel accommodation for the travelling public. The results of
the Board's efforts in this connection have been most satisfactory, and could only have been
obtained by constant inspection of the premises. Through the Board's Inspectors valuable
information has been obtained in regard to the consumption of illegal liquor, the sale of which
affects the sale of liquor in Government Liquor Stores, and thereby deprives the Government of
certain revenue in this respect. AVhenever the Board has been able to obtain information on
these lines, same has been passed to the Municipal, Provincial, and Royal Canadian Mounted
Police Forces, as the case may be, and from correspondence on file the Board's co-operation in
this respect has been fully justified and appreciated by the various police officials. Seven
hundred and twenty-three reports in this regard, and also in connection with general conditions
under  the  " Government Liquor Act"  in  the  various parts  of  the  Province,   have  received
attenti0n' ACCOUNTING.
Appendix A contains the financial statements for the six-monthly periods ended September
30th, 1931, and March 31st, 1932, as required by the Statute. For convenience, however, a consolidation of the Trading and Profit and Loss Accounts for the fiscal year 1931-32 has been
compiled, as follows:— REPORT OF LIQUOR CONTROL BOARD, 1931-32.
