The Prime Minister had promised that if ’ no-license was not carried legislation would be brought down amending the existing laws. Mr Cassrels said' he thought that the last amendment was a clever endeavour to “kill the resolution stone dead,” He would suggest that the resolution should be altex-ed tp read “a bare majority.” Mr Marshall drew the attention of the meeting to the fact that the resolution was asking for legislation to be made retrospective. This would be grossly unfair to other towns if given z effect to. The amendment was then put to the meeting and was lost on a show of hands. Messrs Kenny, Brown, North, Buchanan, Marshall, Cpuper, and Johnstone again asked (hat their votes: be recorded for the amendment. Mr Marshall stood to move a further amendment, but Mr Brenan forestalled him and asked that the resolution be put. The xesolution was then put in its original form to the meeting and was carried on the show pf hands by a 75 per cent. vote. Notice of motion was then given by Mir Buchanan that the resolution be rescinded at the next meeting of the Chamber. Cassrels moved that the Bor-, ough Councils, Business Men’s Associations, and Chambers of Commerce in no-license areas be asked for their co-operation and support, and that the resolution passed by the lopal chamber should be embodied in the request, Mr Buchanan said he considered that the matter should be left in the hands of the executive to deal with. Mr Marshall agreed with Mr Bu- : chanan’s suggestion. . He thought it was entirely a matter fpr the executive to deal with. The executive would naturally give effect to the wishes of the majority, Mr Nicholas contended that that action was unnecessary. Provision had been made in the rules of the Chamber for all correspondence to be attended to and sent away within seven days of a meeting. Therefore, the letters embodying the resolution would be dealt with in the ordinaryway. It was pointed out that no delay should be occasioned in view of the early sitting of Parliament. Owing to the lateness of the hour the chairman deemed it inadvisable to deal with any further business at that meeting. Thus closed one of the moFt enthusiastic and best attended Chamber meetings ever, held in Paeroa.
