Prohibition in Sagadahoc Shows Strong Enforcement Gains
In Sagadahoc Maine the ban on liquor is cited as effectively enforced, with Bath Sheriff Wilbur C. Oliver reducing sales. State prison and jail records show an eight month drop in drunkenness commitments in 1915, a shift from about 15 per month in 1912 to seven or eight, plus large savings in county costs and increased sober labor.
