SLY-GROG IN KING COUNTRY
A PRONOUNCED EVIL Per Press Association. TAUMARUNUI, November 17. A meeting of the Waimarino Labour Representation Committee resolved: “That this meeting of the Waimarino Labour Committee urges upon the Ministor for Justice the desirability of taking steps to purge the King Country in general, and Taumarunui in particular, of the illicit trade of sly-grog selling. The traffic is a pronounced evil, and the Police Department seems wholly unnblo to deal effectively with (he matter: that this meeting calls upon the Department of Justice to adopt more up-to-date methods in coping with the outlawing of the law; also that it is ‘up to’ the same department to find' out who supplied the large quantities of liquor which were distributed throughout tho Waimarino electorate and consumed on polling day.”
