IN GREY LYNN.
The question of whether or not a licensing committee should be elected for the Grey Lynn district, in view or the.carrying of nolicense in that district, was discussed at a special meeting of the Grey Lynn Borough Council (the local authority under the Act) which was held last week, and presided over by the Mayor (Mr. J. Farrell). The legal position in regard to the matter is very doubtful. The Act of 1895 provides that in cases in which no- ' cense has been carried it shall not be necessary to elect a committee, but the repeal of this provision in the Amending Act of 1904 renders the matter uncertain. The Borough Council’s solicitor, to whom the matter was referred, advised that the Council had the power to exercise its discretion on the subject. This the Council accordingly did- at the meeting by deciding that the election should not be held.
