LICENSING COMMITTEES.

On the second Thursday in March the Licensing Committee election takes pface. This election is triennial and follows the Parlamentary ejection and local option poll, wh’ch takes place in December. For elective purposes in March the same ro'l of voters as used in December is brought into requisit’’on. By the ’95 Act it was unnecessary to elect a committee in any district where prohibition obtained, but a section of last year’s Amendment Act repeals this proviso, and it would appear that a Licensing Committee will have to be elected even though prohibition is carried. Of the districts in which Aucklanders are part'cularly interested Manukau appears at present to be the only one in wh'ch much stir will be made. In all others, notab'v the City, the present committees have carried out their dut'es faithfully and weT, and it is anticipated little or no change w’ll be effected in the personnel.
