INVERCARGILL HOTELS.
The prohibition of tipping and “shouting,” and the absence of after hours trading were features of the sale of liquor under trust control in Invercargill, which impressed the Minister of Works (the Hon. R. Semple), when he visited Southland recently. “If I want to buy a pair of socks I don’t have to buy half a dozen pairs for other fellows, and they feel under no
obligation to buy me any either,” said Mr when commenting on the abolition of shouting. The Minister said he thought a man who wanted a glass of ale should be able to go and buy it in the same way as he bought any other commodity, without having to buy it for others, and then have the others “shout” for him. It had certainly eased “perpendicular” drinking.
