LOCAL OPTION POLL. TO THE ELECTORS OF CHMSTCHUJRCH. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,— IN a Yew Days you will be Called upon to Vote on the above quostion, when Proposals will be Sub. nulled to you, viz., THE RETENTION OF THE PRESRNT NIMBKR OF HOTELS ; REDUCTION IN THE NUMBEIt; and PKOHIBITION. The last proposal is so outrageous and impolitic that we do not think it is necessary for us to refer to it, as the good sense of the majority will prevent it« being rmr'.ed. Wilh reference to reduction, some of -you may, without givim; the- matter due consideration, contemplate voting that way, and for tlmt reason we would remind you' that at the Inut Losal Ontion Poll ihe Committee closed nine houses, making- the average number of hotels to the population the lowwt in any city in Australasia. Closing those houses has not lessened the volume of tratle, it has merely transferred the business to other houses, but it also mined ninny of your fellow-citizens. We would point out thnt the present hotel accommodation is not more than sufllcient to supply the ordinary wants of the public, and Is quite inadequate to provide for the visitors at holiday time, and there is no reasonable excuse for closiiiu more house*. c Our Association has laboured to improve the tone and management of the Trndo, and we think it will i>e admitted that the conduct of the Chriatchurch Hotels has improved very much, and now leaves little to We therefore confidently appeal to jour sense of fairness and justice to vote THAT THE NUMBER OF LICENSES IN THE DISTRICT CONTINUE. We feel sure you will remember that any other course will mean the ruiu of several persons who have i-een your fellow citizens for years, and whom you probably respect and esteem. It will also throw a ereat number of workers out of employment, and will only result in increasirfg the business of the remaining If you think our request a reasonable one you will have no hesitation in STRIKING OUT THE TWO BOTTOM LINES AS SHOWN BELOW. I Vote that the number of Licenses in the District Continue, 404 For the Canterbury Licensed Victuallers' Association, (Signed) P.. BURKE, President FOR THE HOLIDAYS SPECIAL LINES AT BAEGAIN PRICES.
