Licensing to reduce crime and regulate liquor trade in Boston

The speaker argues for licenses under the public good and cites 1837 and 1839 Massachusetts law, noting city needs differ from counties. He cites Mayor Eliot and Boston officials, saying regulation promotes temperance, while prohibition increases intemperance, and that licenses would prevent unregulated trade and guard public order.

Boston Licenses and the Intemperance Debate Opens

A speaker defends licensing as a legal duty for Boston officials and rejects the premise that not issuing licenses would curb liquor use. He argues the issue is whether officials will regulate the trade under law or allow law defiance, warning that withholding licenses would push the trade into rogues’ hands and clandestine dens. The speech cites the 47th chapter and 1837 act to show licensing as regulation, not prohibition, and asserts petitioners’ legal right to seek licenses before the mayor and aldermen.
