Limited Horsefloat Service Considered Permissible
Press Assn.
Auckland, Sept. 1.
"A large amount of capital has been invested by the proprietors of horsefloats, and racing itself provides considerable revenue. I therefore consider that while racing is permitted a restricted horsefloat service should continue," said the No. 1 licensing authority, Mr. E..^ J. Phelan, after a tour of his district. ■ "Racing should be centralised as much as possible. For instance, in the Auckland district it should be permitted only at Te Rapa and on the Auckland courses, whither patrons will be able to travel.by rail and boat. While I am unable _to guarantee that horsefloats will be pfovided for those courses I feel that were the racing fraternity to give effect to this suggestion, serious cqnside'ratiorr would be given to the question."
