NEW LICENSE GRANTED.
Per Press Association. HOKITIKA, July 10. The Westland Licensing Committee yesterday granted an application by Thomas' Foster for a new accommodation house at Wataroa, South Westland. Mr Murdoch, counsel for the applicant, referred to the published remarks of Mr Isitt, M.P., in the House dealing with the subject of transfers of licenses beyond the statutory limit. Counsel contended that he was relying upon the statutory provision, the drafting of which had been specially referred to a prominent prohibition leader and solicitor. This amendment of the Act was so framed that it permitted a Licensing Committee to supplant a license dropped at one end of a licensing district by one in another part, irrespective of distance.
