Greymouth Club’s Charter Suspended
(From Our Own Reporter) GREYMOUTH, August 21. The Licensing Control Commission has suspended the .charter of the Greymouth Workingmen’s Club for two months from next Friday.
Last week the club bad to show cause before the commission why its charter to sell liquor should not be suspended. At first the commission announced that the club’s charter would be cancelled for six months, but later the same day it retracted this and reserved its decision. In its decision announced yesterday, the commisison said that the charter would be suspended from next Friday for at least two months —after which the club might seek its restoration.
If the management bad shown it was competent to conduct the club in a proper manner in that time, the charter could be reinstated by Christmas, the commission said.
The chairman of the commission (Mr S. T. Barnett), said the offence the commission was asked by the police to study did not appear to be an isolated one. Double locked doors, bell warning systems and obstruction of the police suggested that liquor was being sold illegally.
