LICENSING LAWS
Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, July 1. The view that a revision of the licensing laws was necessary was expressed to-day by tho chairman of directors of the Dominion Breweries, Mr L. J. Stevens, when speaking at the annual meeting of shareholders. Ho said that in many ways the licensing laws were out of date and uusuited to the necessities of the present population. Ho would welcome legislative enactments, which would give greater security to the trade and enable much-needed improvements to be made in accommodation for the travelling public. This necessity could be met by granting neiv licenses in cities to building owners who were prepared to furnish necessary accommodation. The redistribution of licenses was not a solution. The removal of existing licenses to centres of population would only help to perpetuate the present monopolistic system, and turn into profitable investments more or less worthless assets. If the Government was not prepared to grant new licenses, then it should resume the surplus licenses at present valuations and grant licenses in new locations.
