HOLIDAYS AND THE LICENSING LAWS.
An important point in regard to theobservance of Christmas Day by hotel proprietors has been raised in Dunedin, where a legal opinion has been obtained that hotels must close on Monday, December 26th, that being the day on which Christmas will be observed, in accordance with the provisions of the Public Holidays Act, passed this session. It provides that “ For the purposes of any Act or award .... Christmas
Day or New Year’s Day shall, when those days fall on a Sunday, hereafter be deemed to be the next succeeding Monday.” So the hotels will close on December 26th.
The point was referred by a “ New Zealand Times ’’ representative to the Hon. Dr. Findlay, Attorney-General, who agreed that this view has to be taken.
Another feature of the licensing law wuich lias caused uncertainty in the minds ot many is the date on which 10 o’clock closing will operate generally throughout the Dominion. It has been ascertained that tbe amendment in the law cannot apply to existing licenses, which terminate on June 30th. Univesal 10 o’clock closing will opeate after that date.
