THE REDUCTION VOTE.
FAULTY DRAFTING OF BILL.
Press Association —Copyright. Sydney November 30,
Another point was taken in connection with the recent liquor vote which may prove equally fatal as the first. It was that although the Act provided that in the event of nolicense not being carried the votes cast for no-license should be added to those in favour of reduction, it failed to make clear or ■ state in any way what should be done when this addition had been made. Parliament may have intended that the total for reduction and no-license should be counted against the total for continuance, but the intention was not expressed in the Act.
