PUBLIC HOUSE REFORM.
THE GOTHENBURG SYSTEM. S
A CHRISTCHURCH EXPERIMENT.
(By Telegraph —Press Association.)
CHRISTCHURCH, this day.
The chief feature of public interest which came before the Synod yesterday was the report of a commission on the Gothenburg and other systems for the control of intoxicatinr liquors. The first motion was merely approving of the report and providing for its circulation, but as the debate proceeded a feeling grew that something more definite should be attempted, and eventually it was resolved on a division to recommend the formation of aPublic-house Reform League to educate opinion on the sale of liquors without private profit principle, and to encourage the initiation of public houses of refreshment on the lines suggested in the report- of the commissioners.
