yesterday, the commission reserved its decision. Mr Horn said the speedboat club’s application was dismissed because the licence could not be justified more than five or six times a year; the club’s “town-planning house” was not in order; the club premises were not suitable; ' and legalising consumption of liquor would have a prejudicial effect on neighbours. Three residents appeared at the hearing to object to the application, and a further 21 filed written objections.
