SYDNEY, December 8. In the Assembly the Totalisator Bill ■was read a first time.
The Liquor Amendment Bill, which has received the Governor's assent, provides for tie absolute dosing of hotels on Christmas Day and Good Friday, and the prohibition of the sale of soft drinks after six o'clock.
(Received Dec. 8, at 10.15 p.m.) Mr Hunt (president) and Mr Trethowan (member of the executive) of the Farmers and Settlers' Association, have been appointed to the Legislative Council. . As the outcome of the recent I.W.W. trials the Assembly read for the first time a Crimes Prevention Bill which provides for heavy penalties far inciting to crime. In the Totalisator Bill the Government takes seven-tenths and the clubs threetenths of the 10 cent, deducted from the investments. A deputation from the Anglican Synod visited the Minister of Education, protest irag against the legalisation of the totalise tor. and quoting the enormous increase of btettiag in New Zealand and other States since the introduction of the totalisator. Their arguments failed to convince the Minister.
