Compensation to Publicans.
[Per Press Association] Sydney, Sept. 15. The Legislative Assembly, having decided by 61 to 32 that the Local Option Bill must contain a compensation clause of some sort, and Postmaster- General, Hon. Joseph Cook, having suggested the insertion of a time clause making the measure inoperative for a conple of years, the Secretary of the Parliamentary Local Option Iferty convened a meeting of the various temperance organisations and churches. The Post-master-General was present. By an overwhelming majority the meeting resolved to ask Mr Cook to proceed with the Bill. While from conviction the meeting was opposed to compensation in any form, it was decided that the circumstances of the case justified accepting a compromise that practically notice be given to those who may be effected by the closing of hotels.
