LICENCES FOR OAMARU
Petition Made To House (New Zeaiana Press Association) WELLINGTON, July 3. Abolition of the Oamaru nolicence area and permission to issue such liquor licences as the population and needs of the .community required were sought in a petition presented in the House yesterday. It was stated in the petition that certain areas south of the townships of Maheno and Herbert had been added to the Oamaru nolicence area by boundary changes, the last such addition being in 1937. Because of the changes the nolicence district has extended from the Kakanui river to the outskirts of Dunedin city, a distance of about 60 miles, and the presents no-licence poll comprised electors m the electoral districts of Waitaki, Central Otago and Dunedin North. The Oamaru electorate, as such, had disappeared. At the 1957 poll, the Oamaru no-licence district polled 6863 votes for restoration and 4796 for no-licensing, being 132 short of the required three-fifths majority. In the whole of the no-licence district the votes exceeded the three-fifths majority for restoration with the exception of the residential area of South Hill.
