LIQUOR LICENSES
Sir, —If after reading “B. Fair’s” letter the councillor concerned feels slighted, well, I freely apologise, and I assure him that no slight was expressed or intended in my letter, but has been read into it by “Be Fair.” The omission of a line makes meaningless two sentences in my letter last Wednesday regarding the Canberra Temperance Hotel and the steps taken by the Temperance controlling organisation to meet the requests of local bodies for the opening of similar hotels in their centres. May I take this opportunity of repeating the original passage? “This dry hotel carries high commendations from tourist authorities, widely-travelled guests, and the highest Australian 'officials. Architects are now working on plans for new similar hotels on sites in four new centres.”
These are facts, and go to prove that Temperance hotels, when given a fair trial, do reach high standards and are popular, and financially successful. And that no license is necessary to provide accommodation successfully. Yours etc., DEMOCRACY.
