NO LIQUOR AT PICNIC.
CITY COUNCIL EMPLOYEES. CHRISTCHURCH DEVELOPMENT. [BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] CHRISTCHURCH, Thursday. The Christchurch City Council outside employees this year have had their selection of a place for their annual picnic restricted to three in a letter which their committee has received from the town clerk, presumably on the instructions of the council or the Mayor, the Rev. J. K. Archer. The places are Ashburton, Motukarara and Kowai Bush. No reason has been given for the revo cation of the privilege of an untrammelled choice, but a council employee remarked to-day to a reporter, " the first shot has been fired in a no-more-beer campaign." Ashburton is a no-licence area and there are no hotels at either of the other two places. The town clerk's letter also stated that no beer was to be taken.
