Committee . argues that some discretionary power should be allowed to it ; The local public have practically allowed that discretionary power, as shown by the ballot thus; For increase of publicans’ licenses, 30 votes; against increase, 11. For increase' of N.Z. wine licenses, 29 votes ; against increase, 13. Mr Eytou acted as presiding officer at the polling. Three, votes were informal. .
