NEW ZEALAND TEMPERANCE ALLIANCE.

(PRESS ASSOCIATIOX TBXEG-AM.)

DUNEDIN, January 14.

The Conference of the New Zealand Alliance and local temperance bodies was held this afternoon, Sir William Fox presiding. The following resolutions were carried:—" 1. That it is expedient that the modes of operation hitherto employed by the Alliance Executive be continued. 2. That the Conference sees no other way of meeting the strictly local demands upon temperance effort and liberality than -by the united action of all the local temperance workers and their raising { separate funds to meet local requirements. 3. It is expedient that the Alliance continue to raise funds as hitherto only for colonial, as distinct from purely local work, and that in the opinion of this Conference the Alliance should favorably consider any proposals for financial relations which mty be mutually advantageous from any local Temperance organisations. (4) This Conference cordially commends the colonial and legislative work of the Alliance to the generous moral and financial support, and considers that the most cordis_ relations should be maintained between all local temperance bodies and the Alliance."
