Horsefloats an Essential Industry!
Per Press Association. AUCKLAND. Sept. 1. "A large amount of capital has been invested by the proprietors of horsefloats while racing itself provides considerable revenue, and I therefore consider that while racing is permitted a restricted horsefloat service should continue,” said the No. 7 Licensing Authority (Mr Phelan) after a tour of his district. "Racing should be centralised as much as possible. For instance, in the Auckland district it should be permitted only at Te Rapa and on the Auckland courses whither patrons w’ould be able to travel by rail and boat. While I am unable to guarantee that horsefloats would be provided for those courses I feel that were the racing fraternity to give effect to this suggestion serious consideration would be given to the question.”
