Law Under Review
From Our Own Correspondent PAPEETE, January 2.
AT the last meeting of the “Syndi cate d'Initiative,” held in the Museum building on December 15, a lively discussion took place concerning the liquor laws at present in force in the Colony.
The majority of those present were of the opinion that the application of same to the conditions of Tahiti would seriously injure the tourist business and impose undue restrictions upon the genuine hotelkeepers of Papeete for the benefit of licensees located outside the town limits, who were not under such strict supervision by the authorities.
The following resolution was finally put to the meeting and carried almost unanimously; “That the regulations concerning hotels, bars and the admis sion of non-Asiatic immigrants into the Colony should be the same as those operating in France.”
