NOTICE TO ELECTORS. MANY Electors are under the impression that by abstaining from voting at the forthcoming Licensing Election things will remain as they are. This is not so. If people are favourable to the existing state of affairs, it mil be necessary for them to record their votes at the poll as follows :—: — 7. / vote that the number of Publicans' Licenses continue as at present. Crossing out Clauses 2 and 3. 504 m LICENSING Election. Wednesday, March 21 r"PHE Licensed Victuallers of this A district respectfully solicit public support at the above Election on the following grounds :—: — 1. That the number of Hotels in proportion to the population is less than in any other district in Now Zealand. i 2. That the accommodation afforded by tho present number ' of Hotels is never in excess of, and frequently inadequate to, the requirements of I the travelling public, and any reduction would cause serious inconvenience to the public. 3. That all the licensed houses in the district are well and orderly conducted. 4. That the Licensing Committee have power under the existing Act to close houses which are not properly conducted without any vote in favour of reduction in number of licenses. 5. That the closing of hotels will seriously depreciate the value of property, and will therefore largely increase the amount of the rates and taxes (the income from hotels to New Plymouth Borough alone i 3 about £400 annually, or equal to entail an additional rate of 5d in the £). 6. That confiscation without compensation (and no compensation can be paid) means ruin to many, not only owners of property and their tenants and persons, in many cases widows and orphans, whose moneys are invested on its security, but also to thousands employed by them, and that, therefore, to vote for 'the closing of hotels is harsh and unjust, and is in eft'eot to strive to impoverish and injure our fellow creatures. 7. That " Pnliibition," witb regard the sale of alcoholic liquor does not prohibit, for experience in America and elsewhere teaches that the closing of licensed and woll regulated houses ia the signal for the opening of Shuboens and other illicit sources of supply whore drinks of inferior quality are consumed to excess, with most disas trous results. 8. That we are a sober community, and that drunkenness is almost un known in the district. The above are a few only of the many reasons why all but the spiteful and fanatic should vote as follows :—: — 1. I vote that the number of Publicans' Licenses continue as at • present. Crossing out questions 2 and 3. At the same election the voters will be called upon to elect a new Licensing Committee, consisting of eight members. The following gentlemen having consented to become candidates, the friends of Moderation and Temperance are re spectfully requested to support them at the poll, viz; — Mr W. Bayly Mr D. Berry Mr W. L. Newman Mr J. S. McKellar Mr H. Weston Mr J. Purdie Mr L. Sarten Captain Mace. f_77 EGMONT BREWERY, NEW PLYMOUTH.
