RACING COMMISSION
BAID TO HAVE EXCEEDED ITS AUTHORITY. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, August 3. A protest on behalf of the Otdhuhu Trotting Club in respect to the Racing Commission’s report was put before Auckland members of Parliament to-day by a deputation of about one hundred and fifty sportsmen. After tho club's case had been fully stated, tho Hon, G. ,T. Garland drew attention to the fact that the commission had been set up under the Gaming Amendment Act, 1920, and that Clause 3 of the Act gave the commission, power to extend tho present number of racing days, but no authority to cut away totalisator permits at present in existence. In that respect he felt that the commission had exceeded its authority. Mr. V. H. Potter intimated that the Parliamentary members present had decided to telegraph to the Minister of Internal Affairs drawing his attention to tho point mentioned by Mr. Garland, and requesting that no action be taken until Parliament had considered the report. . „ . . , A protost against the Commission s recommendation regarding the Otahunu Club has been forwarded by the North Island Trotting Horse Owners and Breeders' Association to the Hon. . I'. Stewart.
