IMPORTANT TO SODA WATER MANUFACTURERS AND OTHERS. APPLICATIONS will be received till 31st A May, 1873, for the purchase of the exclusive use for district of Southland, for Hogben's Patent Apparatus for supplying the Syrup in the Manufacture of JErated Beverages and other liquids, and Stopper for Bottles. The Pump supplies the required quantity of syrup into each bottle, at the same time as the bottle is filled with JSrated Water. It saves the labor of two,.men bottling, and is also applicable to other purposes, such as drawing or measuring any required quantity of liquor, or forcing any required quantity of liquid to any place. The Stopper for bottles containing iErated or Gaseous Liquids, such as Lemonade, Ginger Beer, or Soda Water, is self-acting, the Stopper closes the Bottle when it is filled, by the pressure of the Gaseous liquids from within, and the Bottle is opened by applying pressure on the top of the Stopper, from without. They never wear out, doing away entirely with Cork, Wire, and String, are inexpensive, &c, &c. The first cost of a factory introducing Patent Stoppers is reduced to nearly one-half when compared to starting a factory on the old principle, and possesses the advantage of giving greater satisfaction to consumers. The Stoppers being made of Lignum Vitae, or Glass, never wear out, are self-acting in stopping whes filled, doing away entirely with Cork, Wire, and String.. These patents are extensively used in England, America, and the Colonies. They can be seen in full working order on our premises in Dunedin and Oamaru. Also for sale, a No. 1 Hayward Tylor Soda Water Machine. Apply to THOMSON & CO., Sole Manufacturers of the PATENT STOPPERED CRATED WATERS, And Importers of Soda Water Machinery, and Cordial Makers' Goods of every description, Stafpob d-s tbbet, Dunediit. WHAT IS THE PERMISSIVE BILL ? IT is a measure based upon the broad principle that the Liquor Traffic is inimical to the well being of the nation, and its preamble sets forth that—" Whereas the common sale of Intoxicating Liquors is a fruitful source of Crime, Immorality, Pauperism, Disease, Insanity, and premature Death, whereby not only the individuals who give way to drinking habits are plunged into misery, but grievous wrong is done to the persons and property of Her Majesty's subjects at large, and the public rates and taxes are greatly augmented : and whereas it is right and expedient to confer upon the ratepayers of Cities, Boroughs, Parishes, and Townships the power to prohibit such common sale as afore•aid." Its provisions would simply give effect to the public opinion of the country upon a traffic which is confessedly dangerous and difficult to control. It would give ratepayers the power to prohibit the traffic by a decided majority, a right confined »fc present to Tiicensing A£agistra.tes and landowners, who seldom permit a public house to be licensed near their own dwellings, and who frequently exercise their power as landlords to prohibit them over large districts. Its principal clauses provide— I. That any time after the passing of the Act, it shall be lawful for a given number of ratepayers in any Borough, Parish, or District, to require the Mayor or Overseers to take the votes of the ratepayers as to the propriety of bringing into operation the provisions of the Act.* IL That the Mayor or Overseers shall, on receipt of such requisition, cause voting papers to be delivered to, and collected from, all ratepayers within the district. 111. That if, on examining these voting papers, it was found that two-thirds of those voting were in favor of the adoption of the Act, no license could be granted or renewed within that district after the term for which the license was current. It is therefore a Bill which could only come into operation when a very large majority in any district were in its favor, and as a result would, after all, prohibit only a privileged monopoly. ALEX HAY, R.S., Sons of Temperance. DAVID BONTHRON, W.S. Independent Order of Good Templars. •All details, such as the number required to sign the requisition, extent of the district, &c, would be decided in Committee, after the general principle of the Bill had been accepted.
