An application by Breeze Auto Services, Ltd., for a licence to retail motor spirits from two pumps to be installed at service station and garage premises at 518-520 Wairakei road, and also sales otherwise than through pumps, was refused on the grounds that the requirements of the substantial garage principle had not been met.
