TOTALISATOR PERMITS
REV. J. J. NORTHS OBJECTIONS. (Per United Press Association.) CHRISTC7JURCH, August 18. At a meeting of the Council of Churches to-night the Rev. J. J. North said that he had been informed that efforts would be made next session to increase the totalisator permits, especially to country clubs There were alarming developments in connection with the whole matter of racing. Mr North moved: “That in view of the surreptitious attempts by the racing clubs to secure legislation enlarging gambling facilities and undoing the restrictions imposed by the considered legislation of 1910, (1) this Council urges on the Prime Minister the impropriety of treating a matter so vitally connected with the well-being of the country by the present Parliament; and (2) this Council instructs its committee to present to the next meeting of the Council a survey of the condition of the State licensing of gambling and the probable effects of the amendments which the racing clubs are urging, on the extension of the vice.” .... . . The motion was carried unanimously.
