REBUILDING OF HOTELS
LICENSING COMMITTEE SEEKS INFORMATION.
(By Telegraph— Per Press Association)
HASTINGS, June 10,
. At a meeting of the Hawke’s Bay Licensing Committee to-day, Mr AM, Mowleni, S.M.. said the committee had no wish to cause annoyance to publicans, who had been hard hit, but it wished to raise the question as to when the hotels destroyed by the earthquake would be rebuilt. The committee did not wish it to be expected that conditional licenses for temporary bars could be carried on indefinitely. They were ready to help the man who had been hard hit, but there must sooner or later be a cessation of the present temporary arrangements. It was hoped something definite would ba set before the September meeting of the committee. He hoped the publicans concerned would get back to such conditions 1 that they would have at least something licensable. It was not expected that the proprietors of the Grand Hotel and the Masonic Hotel could do anything at present. Something ought to be done, however, in regard to wooden buildings. Some publicans would be prepared to carry on for a long time with temporary bars, but the committee had the public to protect.
