House doc. (Michigan. Legislature. House of Representatives) ; 1857, no. 13.

The report of a Michigan House committee considering a bill which would repeal an act which prevented the manufacture and sale of liquor. The committee concludes, "Whatever may be the decision of the people upon this question, your committee are already of the opinion, that it is unwise and inexpedient to repeal the present law, thus removing all restraint upon the liquor traffic, or at least not until the people shall have clothed the Legislature with power to regulate and restrain, if not to prohibit the same. In view or these facts, and without a assuming to express any opinion as to the merits or defects of the present law, or whether it has accomplished all the good its friends had hoped, your committee report back the bill to the House, and recommend that it do not pass."
