POINT BLANK DENIAL
STATEMENT BY A MINISTER By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, May 19 Referring to tlje statement reported as having been made by the Hon. R. Semple at Auckland, that frequently cases arose in which a man who applied for a license in Wellington and failed to pass the test, went straight out to Petone or the Hutt and obtained a license without any difficulty, Mr Andrews, Mayor of Lower Hutt, gives a point blank denial so far as Lower Hutt is concerned. He states that no new license is issued without a test of the applicant, and this test is just as rigorous as that which applicants in the city have to go through. In any case, the Borough observes to the letter, says Mr Andrews, the regulations which provide for the license being taken out where the car is garaged, or where the applicant resides, if he is a non-owner.
