POLL THOUGHT NO LONGER JUSTIFIED
"I think it will be generally conceded that a Iicensing poll every three years is no longer justified," said Mr. Percy Coyle, director of the! national couneil of the licensed trade, of New Zealand, today. "The people eontinue to express themselves em-; phatically agaihst prohibition. With. the Licensing Control Commission invested with such wide powers, the; public is assured of an even moresatisf actory administration of the Iicensing laws, further referenda on the question of continUance or prohibition are surely not now considered necessary. I do not know of any other place in the world where licensing referenda are held every three years. The vote for continuance on Wednesday was the greatest vote yet recorded."
