CENTRALIZED RACING SUGGESTED
(P.A.) AUCKLAND, September 1. “A large amount of capital has been invested by the proprietors of horsefloats, and racing itself provides considerable revenue, and I therefore consider that while racing is permitted a restricted horse-float service should continue,” said the No. 1 Licensing Authority, Mr E. J. Phelan, after a tour of his district. “Racing should be centralized as much as possible. For instance, in the Auckland district racing should be permitted only at Te Rapa and one Auckland course, whither patrons would be able to travel by rail and boat. While I am unable to guarantee that horse-floats will 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.”
