CHRI§TCHtTiRCH, April 2. "When the Hon. T. -M. Wilford, Minister of Justice, was in Dunedin recently, he was waited upon by a deputation from the Licensed Victuallers Association, which complained of a remark made by Mr J. S. Evans, S.iM"., chairman of the First Canterbury Military Service Board, that "We don't merely look upon hotelkeepers as non-essential but as more or less of an evil at the present time." The Minister has' now received a letter in which Mr Evans says he was misreported, and that his remark had reference to the liquor business and not to hotelkeepers -personally.
