NO LICENSED HOTELS.
MATAMATA FEELS POSITION.
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent)
MATAMATA, Tuesday.
Members of the Matamata Chamber of Commerce at the quarterly meeting last night discussed licensing legislation. Several said that the town was suffering by comparison, owing to adjacent places where there were hotels drawing | much of the trade from Matamata. On the, motion of Mr. G. G. Jjell, the secretary was instructed to wire to the Prime Minister, urging that in the new licensing legislation provision should be made to enable new centres, such a3 Matamata, to obtain new licenses, preferably by a scheme under which the disposal of the license would be in the hands of the local governing body.
