ANTI-SHOUTING.
AUCKLAND DEPUTATION TO THE PREMIER. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Yesterday. A deputation of business men waited on Mr. Massey to-day requesting antishouting legislation and the closing of hotels at six o'clock. Mr. Massey replied in similar terms tliat he used, to the deputation in the House last week. He reminded the deputation that the last licensing polls, though taken after the war began, had not closed a single hotel, and it would have been unreasonable for Parliament to have done anything against the expressed wish of the people, as voiced only a few months ago. Our control of drink compared very favorably with other countries. No one would suggest the exchange of New Zealand licensing conditions for those of England. He repeated that wet canteens would not be opened in New Zealand, and promised that the matter of licensed houses would be considered by the Government. .
