■■ ." ■ _«. — SATURDAY CLOSING The Wellington Area Executive of the New Zealand Alliance, at a meeting on Monday evening, unanimously adopted the following resolution:—"That this' meeting of the AVellington Area Executive of the New Zealand Alliance notes that the representatives of the licensed trade in Taranaki have adopted a resolution asking for 'more suitable trading hours' to meet the economic depression. The- executive records its emphatic opposition to any increase in' the hours of sale or facilities for sale of intoxicating liquor, and further expresses its considered opinion that the time is ripe for Saturday afternoon closing of licensed liquor bars, which measure would tend, to still further reduce drunkenness, put the liquor trade on the same basis as other traders, and promote general well being." In conformity with a resolution adopted by the annual meeting of the New Zealand Alliance, the executive also adopted a resolution for transmission to the Wellington and Hutt Licensing Committees respectfully urging them to refuse to grant conditional licences for the sale of intoxicating liquor at motor-cycle racing and the like sports gatherings.
