TOBACCO LICENSES.

TRADE ABUSES

The wholesale and retail tobacconists of Wellington intend to press for the promised legislation which will impose a license of about £1 or 30/ per year upon the tobacco retailers, said Mr. B. L. Hammond, secretary to the Tobacconists' Association, recently.

Wholesalers, retailers, assistants, and the grocery trade are all in favour of the proposed legislation (says the "New Zealand Times - ). The object is to compel those wiio have been selling tobacco after closing hours to come into line with the legitimate trade.
