HOTEL LICENSES.
APPLICATIONS REFUSED By TelesrrapTi—Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH. June 7. Four applications for licenses for hotels were refused by the newly appointed Mid-Canterbury LicensingCommittee at Leeston to-day, when the committee heard evidence and legal argument. The chairman, Mr H. A. Young, S.M., giving the committee’s decision, said that the committee was not satisfied that it had power by law to grant the applications, which would therefore have to be refused. He expressed the hope, however, that the applicants would bring the matter before the Supreme Court, or Full Court. Ashburton, formerly a dry district, has now been included in Mid-Canter-bury, iwhich is legally a “wet” district, though in fact nearly half of it, namely that part which was formerly in Ashburton, is “dry.”
