CANNOT SHIFT HOTEL LICENSE.
COMMITTEE REFERS TO ANOMALY IN LAW. Per Press Association. GISBORNE, June 19. The Public Works Department has notified that Opotiki County will be expected to take over the new highway Matawai via Waioeka to Opotiki in September. When the matter was mentioned at the sitting of the Bay of Plenty Licensing Committee comment was made that soon the present route via Motu no longer would be used, consequently the Motu Hotel, one of the finest on the East Coast, would be more useful at Matawai, nine miles nearer Gisborne than at Motu, but the law restricted the removal of a hotel license in a county more than one The committee unanimously decided that it be a recommendation for consideration by the proper authorities that the necessary amendments be made in the Licensing Act to authorise a licensing committee to permit the removal of any class of license granted in respect of premises within its district to any other premises in the district without restriction as to distance. The police inspector and the Magistrate spoke in support of the recommendation.
