NO-LICENSE DISTRICTS.
BREWERIES ON THE BORDER. THE PREMIER SPEAKS. By Telegraph—Press Association. WELLINGTON, December 2. In reference to. protests against the proposed erection of a brewery ju.3t outside tha No-License district of Ashburton, Sir Joseph Ward has replied that whatever the law requires the Government will carry out. The Prime Minister has- intimated his opinion that whoever is responsible for the proposal is acting unwisely. He is satisfied that it was never contemplated, where the people had decided in favour of NoLicense, that practically a defiance of the law should take place. "It is evident," says Sir Joseph, "that such a brewery can be legally erected,, but I have no hesitation in saying it ought not to be done. lam determined the will of the people shall be respected, and if a brewery is erected on the borders of Ashburton, Parliament will be asked to legislate to prohibit such a thing."
