MASTERTON AND NO-UCENSE.
Sir,—You, will perhaps allow me to add a word or. two to tho report of tho Lord Chief Justice's address, at Master-, ton this week. Mastorton can wel! bo proud of its first-class town and resi-. dences. I have just returned from tho district, and. if there be any slum . property I ,certainly did not'seo it. Tlie absence of loafers and spongors at street corners so . conspicuous in License towns was remarkable. I can quito ' understand tho statement of the police that two-thirds of'the convictions for drunkenness come from other districts. On oue afternoon' ]ast week. I inet two ni'eir very badly under the influence of litijiior coming from Carterton to Miistorton. 1 had often looked forward to seeing _ Masterton,'and especially after • roaming"., thebrewers' literature, and I am ./tIM I saw. it. for it has confirmed ms
more than.ever in. the wisdom of the No-License movement. ': When. will the Hutt Valley residents begin to 'spend their £40,000 in'something that will benefit the Hutt .Valley?—l: am,, etc., ■ ' HERBERT GBINSTISAD. , Church of Christ; Petone.
