License Refused.
M AKET U ACCOM MO DATION HOUSE. TAURANGA, June it). Application was made at the annual meeting of the Licensing Committee today by K. Prentise for an accommodation license lor the hotel at Maketu. This was a license allowed to lapse last year by non-payment of the license fee after being granted to enable an application to be made for a license at Mntamata. The application was then refused, and the case led to legislation last session preventing attempts being made in this way to transfer a license. The application for th o re-granting of the license at Maketu was opposed by the New Zealand Alliance, and by the police on the ground of the unsatisfactory state of the building and the demoralising effect on the Natives; also that the total adult population of the settlement was under one hundred. Mr Hampson, of Rotorua, for the applicant urged the issue on the grounds of the popularity of Maketu as a seaside resort. The owners had undertaken to effect substantial repairs. The committee, after a. retirement of one hour, decided that it was impossible to grant a license for such premises.
