SUPPLYING LIQUOR TO THE BLIND.
By Telegraph—Press Association,
AUCKLAND, September 5
Trouble, occasioned through the supplying of intoxicating liquor to a few inmates of the Jubilee Institute, for the Blind, before the Parnell Licensing Committee to-day by a letter from the secretary of the institute. The writer stated that a bottle of whisky was brought on to the premises by one inmate, and later en the same evening another bottle was obtained, and there were several cases of intoxication. No charge was made against any particular licensee, but it was thought the committee might assist in the matter of preventing blind men being supplied. The chairman (Mr Dwyer, S.M.) said that, of course, the committee could take no action, but it expressed the hope that licensees would, as far as possible, try to prevent liquor being sold to inmates of an institution for the blind.
