This order will affect the hotels at Te Puke Maketu, Matata, Waiotapu, Rotorua and Whakarewarewa, and should be instrumental in checking to some extent the drunkenness and rowdyism caused by liquor being obtained in considerable quantities at a hotel* perhaps by a sober Maori,, and then taken outside and distributed among his friends, some of whom may have had far too much already. It is a pity, however, that the order was not made to apply to the whole Licensing District.
