SLY-GROG TRAFFIC.
LABOUR PARTY’S RESOLUTION. (BY TELEGRAPH PRESS ASSOCIATION.) TAUMARUNUI, Nov. 17. A meeting of the Waimarino Labour Representation Committee passed a resolution urging on the Minister for Justice the desirability of taking steps to purge the King Country in general, and Taumarunui in particular, of the illicit trade of sly grog selling. The traffic is a pronounced evil, and the Police Department seems wholly unable to deal effectively with the matter, the resolution stated. It also called upon the Department of Justice to adopt more up-to-date methods in coping with breaches of the law, also that it was up to the same department to find out w'ho supplied the large quantities of liquor which were distributed throughout Waimarino electorate and consumed on polling day.
