HOTEL FOR LAWRENCE
NO-LICENSE ERA TO END?
(Per Press Association.)
DUNEDIN, May 11
After about 20 years no-license an attempt is being made to establish an hotel at Lawrence again.
James Kelleher has advertised his intention of applying for a license for premises to be known as the Railway Hotel. The application will be dealt with at the next meeting of the Central Otago Licensing Committee on June 6.
After the census of 1926, certain electoral boundaries in the Dominion were altered, and one of these changes affected the township of Lawrance, which now is included in Central Otago, instead of the Clutha electorate. Such alterations, although made immediately after tlje census, cannot come into force until the term of existing Parliament expires, so that the new status of Lawrence dates only from November 1928. So far as the legal position is concerned, there is no reason why the license should not be granted.
