HAWKE’S BAY MEETING.

The Hawke’s Bay Licensing Committee’s annual meeting was held at Hastings last week. No applications for renewals were refused, but some were granted on condition that improvements were effected. The Committee ordered the rebuilding of the Pacific Hotel to be completed within 12 months. The police reports were favourable with the exception of the Pacific Hotel, and the application of renewal was adjourned for evidence. With reference to the Railway Hotel, which has been in the course of reconstruction for 12 months, three months’ extension was granted. This hotel contains 100 rooms, and cost £12,000. When completed it will be the most up-to-date building in the district. The Committee decided by a bare majority to adopt the 10 o’clock closing hour.
