A “DRY” EXHIBITION.
At a meeting of the Otago area United Temperance Reform Council last week the following resolution was adopted by acclamation: “That the Otago Temperance Council heartHy congratulate® tho Exhibition directors upon the magnificent success of the 1925-26 Exhibition, expresses it® extreme satisfaction at the marked sobriety of the great crowds, and that thi? ha® been achieved on ‘dry lines/ no alcoholic liquor bar of any kind being licensed within Exhibition precinct?; and rejoice? that the absence of alcoholic liquor bars has in no way decreased the pleasures, joy. and gladness* of the teeming crowds daily thronging tire Exhibition Courts, concert halls, and pleasure grounds. Further the council desires to emphasis® the fact that, with 3.000.000 visitors to the Exhibition, and thousands of visitors at all times in the city, never once has all the accommodation at the disposal of the Exhibition Housing Bureau been taken up, thus completelv refuting the cry of the liquor trade that, to secure sufficient accommodation for visitors to a city, a longer term of liquor license monopoly is required.”
