The Forbury Park License. Mr. Allan A. Campbell writes with reference to the Forbury Bootlf incident related by "Truth's" Dunedin correspondent, stating that he has never been guilty of inconsistency m voting at the meetings of the Dunedin Licensing Committee. He says: "On no occasion has Mr. Campbell voted for granting a license to Mr. Helfenan. On the first and last occasion Mr. Heffenan got a license he did so by methods which he could have again used. On that occasion three out of five of the duly elected representatives voted against granting him a license, so you can Judge for yourself how the license was obtained. The Forbury Park Club invited tenders for the licensing privileges for the present season. This is a matter over which they have no control, as it rests entirely with the Licensing Committee. They evidently think they are m a position to rule the roost and dictate their terms, but they will have learned otherwise by now."
