Licence To Distil Spirits Refused
WELLINGTON, Last Night (PA).— It is not proposed-to make provision for the production in New Zealand, whether for experimental or commercial purposes, of potable spirit. This reply has been given by the Minister of Customs (Mr. Nash) to Charles John Bax, of Kaiwarra, who twice petitioned Parliament unsuccessfully for a licence to distil a limited quantity of spirits for experiment and test. The figure mentioned was i up to 50 gallons. Mr. Nash replied that it was re'gretted that a licence under the DisI tillation Act, 1908, under which the I application had been made, could not be granted to distil for any purpose whatever that quantity of spirit.
