LICENSED VICTUALLERS
CONFERENCE AT WELLINGTON
By Telegraph—Press Association, WELLINGTON. December 7.
The Licensing Victuallers' Conference sat in committee until 5 p.m., all the business being completed by that time. A resolution was passed to the effect that none of the decisions should be made public until they had been placed before Sir J. Ward. This will probably be done to-morrow.
It is understood that the Government is to be asked to legislate on the basis of the agreement arrived at recently between two parties. The conference does not insist upon legislation being put through this session, but is anxious that the law should be altered in the direction indicated before the next general election.
A long discussion also took place on the question of rents and bonuses. A fair rent agreement was advocated by several speakers who pointed out that licensees trafficked too much in their business, and fhe result was that in many cases they had no interests to protect at the time of general elections. No resolution was put to the meeting on the question.
