M'Gill and Son's tender (£14,300) has been accepted for the erection of a banking chamber and offices for the Bank of Australasia. Legal proceedings are likely to follow as the result of the action of the Waikouaiti Licensing Committee in declining to grant three applications for renewals of licenses. These three applications were delivered before it was notified that no application had been made for the renewal of the license of the Waihemq Hotel, and the .point was then raised whether the committee could legally refuse the three licenses, this being tho maximum number under the reduction vote, in addition to one for which no application was put in. It is" understood that an application will bo made to the Supreme Court for a mandamus to compel tha committee to grant one of the licenses last refused.
