MANIFESTO FROM THE BREWERS. NELSON.

TO ' THE PUBLIC OF ' THE CITY V. OF NELSON. DURING the past few weeks, while the.: attention pf the public .has been so v ; strongly directed' towards the Licensed' Trade in. Nelson, we have thought it opportune to endeavour to -find out as far as personal conversation with allsections of the community would allow, what alterations th?, 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.:— First, the earlier .closing of licensed premises; Second the abolition* of. barmaids. 7 ' r With a view to giving effect to the wishes of ihe public, we undertake ■ to i have provisions inserted in all' future leases of our Hotels providing foreclosing at half-past ten o'clock, and prohibiting the employment : of barmaids.
