ACCOMMODATION HOUSES
A LICENSING QUESTION. (Per United Press Association.) TAURANGA, June 10. At the annual meeting of the Tauranga Licensing Commitlee to-day, application was made and granted for the renewal of the accommodation license at Maketu. Application was also made for an accommodation license at Matamata, where no license now exists, Mr H. A. Sharp representing the applicant. Mr A. Montgomery applied to have the application adjourned till July 8. The intention, he said, was not to pay a fee for the Maketu license, thus allowing it to lapse, the license then being available. Application would be made to grant it at Matamata. The application was opposed by the police, Black, a boarding-house keeper at Matamats, the Glaxo factory, and several other petitioners. Mr Richmond, appearing for Black, described the application for an adjournment as a piece of legal trickery, and strongly opposed 'granting it. After lengthy legal argument the committee decided to grant the adjournment in order that the full committee should deal with the matter, one member being absent to-day.
