I lie I aranaki .\ssocia t ion proposeel the follow iiij; remit: " I'.. limit on a population basis the number (at present unlimited) of wiueniakers' licenses which may be ir-sued under the Licensing Aineiidnient Act, 1014, in anv .riven district."' 1 hei e are a 2t*eat many blackberries in I aranaki ami much of the fruit is converted into wine, which i* supplied to anybody and everybody.'' said Mr. •I. A. Valentine in moving the remit. He declared that wine could be procured at any time for night re-veds. and the result was seen in motor car and cycle aecielents. Mr. W. C.
