LICENSING KOTICES. f_ 1T V OF AU CKLA ND. LICENSING ELECTION. < TO THE ELECTORS. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,- < In compliance with numerous requests I offer myself as a Candidate for the Licensing Committee. I have carefully observed the working of extended Jiours. and my views are 10 o'clock and fair play. I shall act independently of any party or interest, and shall simply do my duty in the interest of the city, without fear or favour. My motto is always—Legislation by the people for the people. The extension of hours to 11 o'clock was granted by the late Committee without the mandate of the people, and is equal to at least four additional houses, and should be altered. As canvassing is impossible, and the Election Roll not yet completed, I shall, with confidence, trust the people to secure my return, and those who hold the same views. ( Yours obediently, ARTHUR ROSSER. T ICENSING COMMITTEE ELECTION. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF AUCKLAND. < LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,— , At the request of a number of the Electors, I have consented to be nominated for election as a Member of the Licensing Committee. I shall seek your suffrages as an Independent Citizen's Candidate, a partisan of no organisation in favour, of or against the Liquor interests. My convictions, from personal observation and Other sources, are that, from the standpoint of morality, sobriety, and less crime,, Eleven o'clock as the hour of closing hotels has intensified rather than reduced the evils that it is the duty of a Licensing Committee to mitigate as far as possible. I shall strenuously advocate the return to 10 o'clock as the hour of closing, which worked so well during some fourteen years. I anticipate that this view of closing at 10 o'clock will be strengthened and confirmed by the evidence of the Police bpfore the Licensing Bench. In other matters, if elected, I shall endeavour to do that which is just, fair, and reasonable and for the welfare of the community, without fear or favour, and irrespective of party considerations. I am, yours sincerely, . P. E. CHEAL. piTY OF AUCKLAND. LICENSING ELECTION. TO THE ELECTORS. Ladies and Gentlemen,— In response to the request ol an influential deputation of citizens, I orfer myself as a candidate for the forthcoming Election. My intimate knowledge and experience of the working of the extended hours for the sale of liquor is that it is decidedly opposed to the wish of the great mass of the people and most disastrous in its results, especially among the labouring portion of the community. lam therefore in favour of going back to the 10 o'clock licenses, and a fair enforcement of the law generally, and I believe that the police authorities should be fully sustained in their efforts to maintain law and order in the city. I am, yours obediently; ENOCH BOND. piTT OF AUCKLAND. LICENSING COMMITTEE ELECTION. CITIZENS' COMMITTEE. Electors are requested to note that the following are the only Gentlemen, in addition to Mr J. J. Craig, who have declared themselves in favour of TEN O'CLOCK CLOSING, Viz. :— MESSRS ENOCH BOND MAURICE CASEY P. E. CHEAL And ' ARTHUR ROSSER These are the CITIZENS' CANDIDATES. Give them YOUR VOTE AND INFLUENCE. TO THE ELECTORS. CITY OF AUCKLAND. ' Ladies and Gentlemen,— At the request of a number of acquaintances desiring a representative on the Licensing Bench who has not extreme views regarding the Liquor Business, I have consented to become a candidate for your suffrages. I am in favour of closing hotels at 10 o'clock. As a householder and a parent, I feel that hour is late enough for hotels to be open as the legitimate demand for refreshments after that time is likely to be slight and no compensation for drawbacks. The ordinary artisan should be home before 11 o'clock to enable him to begin next day's work fresh. Besides, members of a family returning at late hours are likely to disturb the repose of others, and perhaps may have been a source of anxiety. This is an important point for the rising generation. With the exception of this matter, I have little fault to find with existing regulations. I have been a resident of Auckland for--30 years, and during that time have consistently advocated temperance and moderation, yet feeling that others have a right to their own opinion. j MAURICE CASEY. Q I T V OF AUCKLAND. LICENSING ELECTION. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,— I again offer myself as an Independent Moderate Candidate at the approaching Licensing Election. My views are that the existing eleven o'clock licenses should remain, and that every hotelkeeper should have a three or five years' lease and not a weekly tenancy as all New Zealanders desire freedom. If elected. I shall endeavour to do that which is just and reasonable, and what I I consider best for the welfare of the' community, and will not resign my office and afterwards be compelled to take my seat, as one of the present orewers' candidates have done. Feeling satisfied that the existing eleven o'clock licenses have met with the approval of the majority, I now trust that' those who have reposed confidence in me at the last election will on this occasion return me at the head of the poll. I am, yours sincerely, (Signed) WILLIAM CRAIG. ' • BOARD AND RESIDENCE.
