CONDUCT OF HOTELS.

DRINK FACILITIES INCREASED. WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN B ARS. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Dunedin, Last Night. At the annual meeting of the City Licensing Committee to-day, Mr. H. Y. Widdowson, S.M. (chairman) said a great deal of illicit business was done after hours and the committee wished him to warn hotel keepers that this sore of thing must cease. He also drew attention to the extensions of bars and the means of obtaining liquors which had had the effect of curtailing the accommodation to the public. The committee felt that something should be done in the direction of showing more consideration for visitors and providing them with more accommodation. Another matter brought under the notice of the committee was in regard to the number of women and children, seen in hotels in the vicinity of the bar obtaining liquor, the women obtaining liquor and the children with them. Still another matter, was in regard to boys selling newspapers. These boys were allowed to hang about bars, but the committee thought. that these lads should be kept out of hotels altogether.
