SHORTENED HOTEL HOURS
SATURDAY saw the application of the new regulation enforcing the two-hour non-trading gap upon hotels during the afternoon. A local observer, who claims to be a competent judge states that as far as the country towns are concerned he feels that the measures are not likely to act in the nature of a genuine curb. Perhaps they are not intended to! The greatest volume of bar trade is always between the hours of 4 and 6 p.m., though it has to be admitted that the trade must suffer to a certain extent. The natural method of countering the restrictions, if one so desires, is of course to purchase the liquor for consumption elsewhere during the closed hours.
