COMMITTEE REFUSES TO GRANT TRANSFER OF HOTEL LICENSE

(P.A.) DANNEVIRKE, Sept. 7 Opposition voiced by the 1 police at the quarterly silting of the Pahiatua Licensing Committee resulted in a refusal by the committee to grant an application for the permanent transfer of the licence of the Central Hotel. Woodville. to Mr. W. E. Pine, who had been operating under a temporary license.

The allegations were denied by Pine, but the committee in refusing a permanent transfer adjourned the application for one month to enable Pine to arrange for the disposal of the lease and complete matters generally. Pine had been convicted of selling liquor after hours and had had his driving license cancelled for being intoxicated in charge of a motor car, besides which allegations of insobriety were made by the police.

Mr. Williams said he; found this quite an unusual set-up and very interesting.
