Dunbdiw, December 12. The figures of the Olutha local option poll are as follows :—Continuance, 1395 ; reduction, 1909; no license, 2170 ; informal, 143. The Returning Officer is not m a position to make the official declaration till he receives the papers from Ohaslands. The total number of votes is 3750. If the 143 informal votes are deducted, the votes recorded total 3609. Reduction was therefore carried by 104 votes, but it is superseded by no license, which was carried by a majority of four votes. If these figures are officially confirmed, the hotel at Pukerau, which was incorporated on the oa* casion of the change of electoral boundaries, will be closed after June 30th. The wholesale licenses will also cease at Tapanui, and Olutha will once more be a prohibited district.
