INVESTMENTS ON TOTALISATOR
USE OF TELEGRAPH ADVOCATED
Agreement with the proposal to permit the telegraphing of totalisator investments to racecourses was expressed by Mr. 11. F. Johnston, Reform candidate for the Hutt, in reply to a questioner at his Petone meeting last night. “I have advocated it for many years,” he said, “and I can’t go back on it now. (Applause). T don’t wish to. I think it should be allowed. The present restriction, I believe, is unjustifiable and harmful in many ways.’’ The candidate said he could not sec why. since betting on the totalisator was allowed by law, a man in the baekblocks should be forced into the hands of other people when he wished io have a het on a racehorse—perhaps his own—because he could not transmit his money for investment on the totalisator.
