Evil of Hare-Racing
CHURCH LEADERS WRITE TO MR. BAVIN “SERIOUS SOCIAL PERIL” By Cable.-—Press Association. — Copyright. Reed. 9.25 a.m. SYDNEY, To-day. The Coadjutor Archbishop of Syd ney and the Bishops of Armidale, Grafton, Riverina and Bathurst, in a joint letter to the Premier, Mr. T. R. Bavin, call attention to the moral and material welfare of the citizens of the State, as affected by excessive inducements to, and participation in, betting and gambling. They add that they are convinced the licence for betting on mechanical hare-racing is calculated greatly to extend the range, increase an appetite for betting, especially among women and children. The State is therefore threatened with the most serious social peril. The immediate and ultimate consequences are so great that they pray the Government to prohibit betting in connection with these electrical devices.—A. and N.Z.
