RESTAURANT HOURS
EXTENSION DESIRED [ Per Press Association. ] DUNEDIN, Oct. 11. In view of the Government’s intention to introduce the Shops and Offices Act revision, the tearoom, restaurant, and milk bar proprietors resolved this morning to seek an extension to 11 p.m. of the hour till which females may be employed. A memorandum for the Minister states that the Act fixing the hour at 10.30 p.m. was passed as a war measure, during abnormal conditions, and was now proving a tremendous handicap to the restaurant industry in these times of quick transportation and craze for ivening entertainment, especially in Dunedin, where the public flock to tearooms after the pictures instead tf going, as in other centres, to caba•ets and road houses. If the hours ire not extended large restaurants vill have to close for this supper trade, which is an indispensable source revenue.
