Revival of solicitor generalship urged to curb illegal liquor and gaming
Debates highlight the burden on courts from liquor laws and related vice as temperance supporters push to restore a solicitor general. Past Boston prosecutions are cited, from 1881 to 1884, to argue for stronger legal administration and new oversight. A joint committee is proposed to evaluate appointing a solicitor general and assistants, with power to hire a stenographer and summon evidence.
