G‘. Taylor). William Thomas Simons, who has recently acquired the wholesale business of William Woods, in Vine Street, was granted a wholesale license. In connection with the granting of the license to Mr. Main, of Hikurangi, counsel for the applicant asked that the provision making a levy of £2O for the roads in addition to the £2O for the license be at least reduced. It was decided to renew the license under the same conditions, but to ask the local body to spend the larger portion of the money raised for them on the roads in the vicinity of the hotel.
