LICENSES IN KING COUNTRY.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —In y'pur issue of 4th inst. appear some resolutions passed by an influential body re above. If a referendum is taken and carried that hotels are to be opened in that locality I wish to point out that in several towns in Taranaki there are an overplus of hotels. If the law allows, one less would do in Manaia, Normanby, Waitara, Eltham. Stratford, Patea and Hawera. These could he shifted, or rather their licenses transferred, to the King Country. I have travelled in that no-license area, and the amount of surreptitious drinking going on is shocking. The writer has no axe to grind, hut feels sure that drinking under supervision is preferable to the King Country’s present-dav methods I am, etc., TRAVELLER.
