THE LICENSING LAWS.
MR. FISHER INTERVIEWED. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, Saturday. A deputation which waited on the Premier with reference to the demands of the No-License Party to-day interviewed the Hon. Mr. Fisher. The Minister, in reply, said that the Cabinet would have to consider the whole matter. While he used to he in favour of the three-fifths majority and was now a bare majority man, being of opinion that some of the desired reforms should be carried out, he did not think there was the remotest chance of a Licensing Bill coming down this session. With the pressure of other important legislation lie did not see any hope whatever of a Licensing Amendment Bill being dealt with. Such a Bill would take an enormous amount of time. The deputation, however, was assured that as soon as the Government was able the whole question would be carefully gone into, and some decision arrived at, but honestly he considtred they could not do it this year. Mr. French said his party was determined that the three-fifths system should be abolished. If it was not done one way it would be done another.
