Licences cause alarm
PA Wanganui The hotel industry is alarmed about the growth in ancillary liquor licences, the president of the Wanganui branch of the Hotel Association (Mr T. Hurley) has laid. Speaking to guests at a Liquor Industry Council luncheon, he said that ancillary licences, recently introduced for sports and other specialised-interest clubs, now showed the fastest growth among the country’s liquor outlets. “By this time next year,
i i some 2000 licences will be operating and while the in- ; dustry believes sports clubs i should be allowed to sell : liquor legally, we also bei lieve in equality of treat- • rnent,” Mr Hurley said. > “That goes for fees, taxation, fire and health codes, i parking, and policing. 1 “The alternative is a privi- - leged section of society ■ which will enjoy advantages 1 not available to those who t are not club members.” The granting of 35 ancilla- - ry licences in the Wanganui licensing area was affecting , all retail outlets, he said.
