NORTHERN HOTELS.

CONDUCT SATISFACTORY. MARSD3N COMMITTEE MEETS. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent) WHANGAREI, Tuesday. Mr. J. E. Holmes, acting-chairman of the Marsden Licensing Committee, expressed his pleasure, at the meeting of the committee to-day, at the police report on the conduct of the houses which, he said, was entirely satisfactory. James Paynes was granted a renewal of license for the Wairua Hotel, all the police and Health Department requirements having been carried out. The police stated that all the other hotels had been well conducted. There were no complaints in the case of the Parua Bay Hotel, the application regarding which had been adjourned on account of the dilapidation of the building. Inspector Hollis suggested a further three months' grace in which to bring matters to finality. Mr. Garruth, for the owner, said he was completing a financial arrangement which should prove satisfactory. Mr. Steadman, for the licensee, Mr. E. Davan, said this was most unsatisfactory to hie client. Something absolutely definite had been promised for this meeting, and his client was again put off. The insurance on his furniture and effects had been cancelled on account of the state of the building, which wae very poor business. The extension of time was granted.
