HOTELKEEPERS' DUTIES.
CATERING FOR PUBLIC. WARNING FROM COMMITTEE. Owners of several hotels in Wellington who have been requisitioned to construct new premises on the ground that the present buildings have outlived their usefulness were given to understand by the Licensing Committee this week that they would be expected to submit definite rebuilding schemes witbin the next 12 months. _ The hotels concerned are the Thistle Inn, Clyde Quay, Royal, Central, National and Princess. A warning to a publican who the police alleged had frankly admitted that he did not cater for the travelling public, and that he did not think ho had a duty in that respect was issued by the committee. Inspector Rawle reported that the hotel.keeper's remarks were in response to an inquiry as to why he had made available to the public only two bedrooms and one sitting room. " The committee desire to say that the view of this licensee is a mistaken,, one," said the chairman, Mr. E. Page, S.M., after consulting his colleagues. " The licensee has a duty to the publis and, if he does not acknowledge it, we will have to consider, if we get a further ad verse report, whether he is a suitable man to be a publican."
