LIQUOR WAR SETTLED
Hotels Retain Own Prices (N.Z. Press Association) DUNEDIN, October 20. | Dunedin’s liquor price war has ended after two years of' protracted battling— not in rampant victory, but in peaceful settlement. The three city hotels which had been refused liquor supplies because they refused to sell at higher prices yesterday had their orders accepted by the wholesalers. “People will be able to buy gin and whisky at our prices, and not at those which the wholesale merchants had hoped to dictate to the public,” said Mr I. R. Bright, a spokesman for the hotels.
“Dependent on supplies, which may be regulated by current import restrictions, we will sell whisky at 37s 6d a bottle, and gin which is made in New Zealand and freely available will be sold at 28s a bottle.”
