SALE OF LIQUOR
THE NEW REGULATIONS. A CANON’S CRITICISM. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, June 23. “The new licensing regulations,” said Canon R. G. Coats, who has been active in the campaign for greater control of drinking, “are encouraging’ in so far as they give greater power to the Police Department in controlling the illicit sale of liquor and tighten up the law .in a few directions. But the change in the hours of sale will be quite negligible in effect. “Unfortunately, the Government has not dealt with the question of what is a reasonable period for decent drinking. My wish was for a curtailment between the hours; of 4 and 6 o clock, with some opportunity under proper conditions later, on the lines of the English system. It is disappointing from every point of view that they have not made drinking more decent.”
