RACING PERMITS.
UNFAIRNESS TO TARANAKI. A statement on the garnmg'laws was made at ChristchurcU by the Hon. G. W. Russell, irt the course of which he said: "As the totalisator is the only means of legal betting I consider the increase proposed in Mr. Hunter's Bill necessary and just: (1) In order to satisfy the needs of the growing and popular sport of trotting;- (2) to remove the injustice under which Taranaki suffers in having only half the number of permits jriven to Hawke's Bay .though the populations are practically equal; (3) to enable permits to be given to new and prosperous districts like Kltham, which arc now unable to obtain them. In some cases decaying districts mays be asked to surrender their permits, but all the principal racing centres are fully supplied with permits, and some have more than 4re nseessary," |
