HOTEL TARIFFS IN N.Z.
NATIONAL PARTY’S DISCUSSION
COMMENT BY LICENSED VICTUALLERS
(New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, July 6.
The president of the Ne,w Zealand Licensed Victuallers’ Association (Mr F. Drewitt) said today he was amazed that a member of the Invercargill Licensing Trust “should have the audacity to say that the trust was improving its hotels in every direction inside the scope of present tariffs,” Mr Drewitt was commenting on remarks made by Mr G. F. M. Stewart, a member of the trust, speaking to a remit at the National Party’s conference yesterday recommending the removal of price control from tourist hotels. Mr Drewitt said it was “all Very well for Mr Stewart to talk this way, but he must be talking with his tongue in his cheek.” The last printed report of the Invercargill Licensing Trust, he said, showed that its liquor sales were £428,000 and its house takings £68,00Q.
