MANIFESTO FROM THE BREWERS, a NELSON, TO v-THE PUBLIC- OF THE CITY ■:'■■ • OF NELSON. DURING the pa'st;few weeks, while the attention of- the public has been so .'strongly directed towards the Licensed Trade in Nelson, we have thought it opportune to endeavour to find out as far." as "personal conversation with all sections of the community would allow, what alterations the public most earnestly desire and think would be conducive to the better management of licensed hotels. After carefully considering the various views we have, come to the conclusion that the two alterations the public would like most to see brought about are i-^First, the earlier closing of licensed premises; Second -the abolition of barmaids. With a view -to giving effect to the wishes of tho public, ive undertake to havo provisions inserted in all future leases of our Hotels providing for closing at half-past ten o'clock, and prohibiting the employment of barmaids. .
