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. The law in this respect has been practically openly flouted for a lmig time pastl and the tobacconists feel strongly that it is time that those who are flagrantly breaking tlip law nre made to comply'with it or g c up the tobacco business.
