THE LICENSING COMMITTEE.
TO THE EDITOR. Sia, —In your paper of Thursday is an account of a meeting held in Royal between two Good Templars and four Tem ,l k a Hotelkeepers, and it seems by your, report that the question of electing a Licensing Committee is all but Settled by them. Most likely these gentlemen think themselves the ratepayers of Teranka, like the three tailors of Tooley street when they gave p\\t that they were the people of England. Don’t you think that public opinion ought to be obtained on a question of tins kind 1 and not have ■ it settled by extreme men, such as Good Templars and Publicans. I for. one don’t like these hole and corner meetings by a few men taking it on themselves to settle what the ratepayers have to do for themselves, unless these gentlemen will pay pur rates. This they won’t do, but by their action they will try to all )he benefit of the new Licensing Act, and let others pay the piper. I am, etc., 4 Ratepayer. Temuka, Feb. 16, 18&2.
