CIGARETTES ON SUNDAY.
RESTAURANT-KEEPERS' SIDE LINE. By Telegraph —Press Association. t Wellington, Yesterday. The executive of the Tobacconists' Association waited upon Dr. Findlay today and complained of Sunday trading in tobacco, cigars and cigarettes by restaurant keepers and other persons who make a business of selling summer drinks on Sundays. The Minister, in reply, said that the official files contained a number of police reports from different parts of New Zealand. These showed that there was a considerable amount of illicit trading by restaurant keepers. The provision in the Police Offences Act, under which cases of the kind could be brought, was not a satisfactory one, and he promised to confer with his colleagues with a view to seeing what could be done. He agreed with the deputation that the penalty of twenty shillings was quite inadequate to deal with the evil.
