WELLINGTON ITEMS.
[From Our Correspondent.] WELLINGTON, March 22.
The results of the polling yesterday for the’ election of the Wellington Licensing Committee shows much apathy on the part of the voters. The highest vote recorded for a modferate candidate was a little over three thousand, and thehighest for a temperance candidate over nineteen hundred. At the local option poll in December more than seven thousand votes were cast for continuance of license, and upwards of six thousand for reduction and no-license, while the temperance vote yesterday was comparatively small. The prohibition party exhibited singular indifference towards the gentlemen who came forward on the temperance ticket, and who were pledged to see the existing law stringently administered.
The United Furniture Trade Union will discuss the following motion at its next meeting:—“That action be taken against certain employers for breaches of the arbitration award.”
