LIQUOR AT DANCES
WELLINGTON COMPLAINT. r ßy Telegraph, Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, October 24. Asking for amending legislation to prevent the consumption of alcoholic liquor in cabarets and dance halls, representatives of - the Wellington Women’s Societies waited on Hon. Mr Wiliford to-day, and presented a strong case. Mr.'Wilford thanked the speakers for the clear, concise, and able way in which' they put it. He said that he had |o confess that he had no firsthand knowledge of the circumstances spoken of, and it .had certainly come ns a shock to him to hear that such a serious state of affairs existed. Tt was too late now for any Licensing Hill to be introduced this session, but he would suggest tliat the four speakers come back to him in about a week’s time, when he would have fully investigated their claims, and they could go into the matter together.
