LICENSEE WARNED
FOUND IN DRUNKEN STATE. PALMERSTON NORTH, Monday. “When we visited the hotel on 19th November the licensee was in a drunken condition; in fact, he was in a state of coma,” said Inspector J. Cummings at the meeting of the Palmerston North Licensing Committee tb-day, when criticising the control of the Princess Hotel by Sommerville Walter Robert Evans. “There is no control of the hotel by this licensee.”
Evans told the committee he had had a few drinks to celebrate the christening of a grandson. “We had trouble with you some years ago,” said the chairman, Mr J. L. Stout, S.M. “If you do not mend your ways before the next annual meeting of the committee you will probably find yourself without a license. You can take that as a warning.”— (P.A.)
