Premier Taschereau told retail men in Montmorency Falls that Quebec's liquor law remains experimental and has generated 4,006,000 dollars in the first year. He said the province holds 16,000,000 dollars worth of alcohol for 350,000 people, averaging 4,000 dollars per head annually, with Americans bringing the national average down.
