The police report was favourable, and tho application, which was unopposed, was granted. A conditional license* was also granted for tho forthcoming athletic championship meetiug. Mr T. Fiddis. after the ordinary business was over, made tho following remarks:— " I honestly believe, Mr Graham, and I wish to say so before we part, that you have dono your work :is chairman capably and fflithi fully during tho time wo liavo been together. | We have all got on harmoniously, and evory- ; tiling has been smooth throughout the dis- < trict. Tho hotels, too, have been woll conduoled. One or two of tlicm have endorsements on their licenses, but that is a matter . for the new committee to deal with. X hope • I shall bo returned again. If I am, they that break (he law will have-to toe the mark, but I think that a man who pays tho £'40 lias a right to bo protected if ho keeps tho law. That's my view. I hope, Mr (Jralmm, that wo shall Jiavo tho plcmsure of shaking hands with you again at the beginning ot another three years." ' Mr Graham shortly acknowledged tho oomplimcnt embodied in Mr Fiddis's remarks.
