The Gothenburg Licensing System, which has given rise to so much
controversy, has been in operation here for many years and is said to
have worked well. It is at least certain that drunkenness has diminished
greatly of late years. The system was also introduced at Stockholm in
October, IS77, and the results are said to have been beneficial. The
leading features of the system of licensing, or rather of non-licensing, are
that a company is empowered to buy up all licenses and existing rights,
and to open a limited number of shops for the sale of pure and
unadulterated spirits, the salaried managers of which have no interest whatever
in the sale of the spirits. The company, which is under the supervision
of the municipality, after deducting interest at the rate of 5 per cent on
the capital expended, hands over the whole of the surplus profits to the
civic authorities, thus affording very substantial relief to the rate-payers,
and to some extent throwing the burden of maintaining the poor upon
those who impoverish themselves by their own intemperance.
