NO-LICENSE IN MASTERTON.

Discussed at palmerston

At the public meeting in Palmerston North on Monday night, Mr. James McGregor, of Masterton, quoted many comparative statistics showing the effect of No-License in Masterton (1) on crime, (2) on business, (3) on the moral welfare of the community. He quoted Sir' Robert Stout's address to the Grand Jury at the recent criminal sittings of the Supreme Court, in which he complimented the town on the absence of crime. He gave figures showing how the vast majority of business people of Masterton were of opinion that No-License was in the best interests of the town, that business had not suffered thereby, and that No-License was the best solution of the liquor problem. Mr McGregor further gave the replies of eight business men with whom he personally dealt, including Mr C. E. Daniell, to the question put to them last week by Mr McGregor, as to the effect of the closing of the hotels on their business, all of which were that business had been more satisfactory, some of the eight showing their books disclosing a 50 per cent increase in business. Mr McGregor also spoke of the good effect of No-License on the youth of the town and country, and also on the native* population around Masterton, who lived and dressed better now than hitherto,, when all theii; money went in drink. 1 He concluded an able address by emphatically stating that from the points of view of crime, business and moral welfare No-Licence in Masterton had been an overwhelm- ! ing and magnificent success.
