LIQUOR LICENCES. 
The Secretary read a letter from Mr. Harrison asking that any 
requests the District may wish to make with regard to the stopping 
of licences be sent in before 20th December. 
Mr. Bosanquet proposed and Mr. Hickey seconded that ‘ only 
one toddy shop and only one liquor shop be allowed in Kapar 
township.” 
Mr. Bailey thought one liquor shop a mistake as it would mean 
lack of competition, and proposed as an amendment “ that 2 liquor 
shops and one toddy should be allowed.” Seconded by Mr. Brock. 
Mr. Bosanquet then withdrew his motion and Mr. Bailey’s reso- 
lution was carried. 
Before the meeting closed, the Chairman said that he felt sure 
that this Association would Jwish to express its sympathy with the 
K.S.D. P.A. on the sad news contained in yesterday’s paper on the 
death of their Secretary Mr. Edgar Smith. 
This was carried unanimously and the Secretary was instructed 
to write to the K.S.D.P.A. expressing the sympathy of the members 
of the Association. 
The meeting closed at 5.50 with a vote of thanks to the chair. 
Nicolas C. S. Bosanquet, 
Hon. Secretary.
