CLOSING TIME EXTENDED IN WELLINGTON.
Some weeks ago the billiard saloon proprietors of Wellington waited upon the City Council, asking that the hour of closing should be extended from 10 to 11 p.m. Against this it was alleged by another deputation that the saloons were not well kept, and that they were mediums of gambling. The. City Council considered reports from Inspecor Doyle, the City Council’s inspector, and the Inspector of Police, in which it is said the saloons are properly conducted. The By-laws Committee, which had gone fu ly into these reports, however, recommended that the hour of closing be not extended. After considerable discussion a motion extending the closing hour to 10.30 p.m. was agreed to by seven votes to six.
