LATE SHOPPING NIGHT
Reasons for delay in the giving of a direct reply on the question of earlier closing on the late shopping night have been given by the Associate Minister of National Service (Mr, Wilson) in a further letter to the Mayor (Mr. Hislop).
"While I am unable at present to give any definite indication of possible future changes of policy in regard to the question of the early closing of shops," states the Minister, "I am able to say that the whole question of prevention of concentration of the public, particularly during the hours of darkness, is at present being thoroughly, examined from all aspects, including the accumulation of people after evening entertainments or otherwise. The r .presentations contained in the letter from your Town Clerk are being taken into consideration in this respect."
