FORTY-HOUR BAR!
Evening Trade Rumour.
Press Association —Copyright. Auckland, March 9
“I haven’t heard of it; that is a new one on me,” said the Prime Minister, Mr. M. J. Savage, when he was asked if there was any foundation in the rumour that an important amendment to the licensing laws was to be introduced, fixing hotel bar hours at 40 a week, but making provision for evening trade. He had heard of amendments to the Gaming Act, though, he admitted. That question had been discused to some length, and there had been suggestions of a commission or Parliamentary committee. No settlement had yet been reached, however. Just how the Gaming laws could be improved was not clear at the moment.
The Government was concerned at the moment with bread-and-butter problems, he said, and those gave them sufficient work to occupy them fully. When those were settled, there would be an opportunity to consider questions concerning the Gaming Act and other similar problems. At the moment they had more important things to do.
