BRITISH HOTELS
CLOSING RECOMMENDED
[United Press Association.—By Eleotrio Telegraph.—Copyright. ] LONDON, December 20. The Royal Licensing Commission have decided to recommend the appointment of five Dictators to supervise Britain’s drink traffic, their orders to be executed by the Licensing Benches. The objectives of £he Commission’s recommendation include the closing of hundreds of hotels, the standartTlsign of hotel hours, the closer inspection of licensed premises, and a better standard of comfort, by which it is hoped to encourage the public use of the hotels as eating houses. The breweries would be required to contribute to a fund to compensate those whose hotels were closed as being surplus hotels. The temperance reformers on the Commission in a minority report, urge the nationalisation of the breweries and the Hotels under the Carlisle system, the State trying them out and placing them under the control of a Parliamentary body.
