LICENSING COMMITTED
ELECTION ON MARCH ».
NOMINATIONS CLOSE’ SATURDAY.
The triennial elections of licensing committees throughout the Dominion must, according to law, take place on the second Tuesday in March in the ■year following a general election. The date this year will be Tuesday, March 9.
Ohinemuri, after being for 17 years under no license, is again included in the districts subject to .this law. Nominations will close on Saturday next, February 27, at noon. Five candidates are required to bo elected for each licensing district, of which there are's7 in New Zealand. The franchise tor licensing committees is very wide,, being actually the same as, tha,t for the general-elec-tion, but it has become notorious that few of those who are entitled to vote avail themselves of the privilege to do so. Interest in these elections is, generally speaking, comparatively small, but in the case of the Ohinemuri elec--torate, on this, occasion at least, it is anticipated that a much larger vote in proportion to the‘number on the roll will be exercised than in any
other district. Present'..indications are that in the vicinity of a score of candidates will be nominated for the five seats on the committee. . Of that, number at least six are residents of Paeroa. • - .
The absent voting system in vogue at the Parliamentary .election is not operative in connection with the election of licensing committees-. 1 :
