LIQUOR AT BELLAMY’S
POLL TO EE TAKEN TO-MORROW. FIRST FOR TWELVE YEARS. (Special to the Times). WELLINGTON, July 25. For the first time in twelve years a poll will be taken on Tuesday next on the question of the retention or otherwise of alcoholic liquor in the Parliamentary restaurant. The Legislature Act provides that a poll on the question shall be taken on the fourth Tuesday after the close of the debate on the Address-in-Reply in the first session of each Parliament. During the last three Parliaments, however, the first sessions have in each case been so short that business has been completed before the fourth Tuesday after the opening of the session, and as a result no poll has been taken. The last poll was taken on August 12, 1 903, when the retention of alcoholic liquor was carried by 76 to 31. The details of voting were as follows: —Legislative Council: Ayes 34, noes 4: House of Representatives: Ayes 42, noes 27. The poll before that was taken on July 2.', 1900, when the voting was as follows; —Legislative' Council: Ayes 29, noes 6; House of Representatives: Ayes 37, noes 26; total ayes 66, noes 32.
