THE ASHBURTON CLUB.
RE-OPENING OF BAR.
LEGAL ACTION PROBABLE. It is understand (says the Lyttelton Times) that steps will be taken shortly by supporters of the nolicense movement in Ashburton to test the legality of the action of the Ashburton Club in opening its bar under the charter granted to the club before the district carried nolicense in 1902. The grounds of the action are said to be that the club failed to pay its charter fees regularly during tile period in -which the district was under no-license, and that, therefore, the charter 1 lapsed. It is alleged that at times the were considerably in arrears, and! that the club, therefore, automatically lost its charter.
After Ashburton became “wet” as a result of inclusion in the Mid-Can-terbury electorate legal advice was obtained by the club to the effect that it was entitled to open itf bar. This advice has been acted upon, but the no-license advocates are not satfiedi with the position, and do not intend to let the matter rest where it is at present. It is considered likely that the matter will be discussed by Cabinet.
