LICENSING LAW
PROVING DEFICIENT,
BE-ISSUBS FOR NEW DISTRICTS.
(Special Correspondent.)
WELLINGTON, This Day,
A Licensing Amendment Bill which has been introduced by the Hon. J. Barr in tho House is intended to render impossible the transfer of licenses beyond the statutory limit. The existing legislation was intended to do this, but it has been found possible to secure tho removal of licenses into new districts by allowing them to lapso and then applying for re-issue, The matter has been discussed fully in connection with some transfers already completed. Sir Francis Bell told the Council that the Government would not oppose the Bill as long as it was not made a vehicle for general amendments in the Licensing law. He realised that owing to weaknesses in the law the intention of Parliament was being defeated. He understood that the trade would not object to the Bill.
