Will Decide
Whether to Drink Ex-Bond or in Pub
NORFOLK ISLAND residents will hold a plebiscite on their future liquor laws shortly— probably early in May.
At present liquor is sold at certain periods from the Govern ment Bond and there are restricted licences to approved guest houses and clubs.
Residents are being asked by their Advisory Council (which will recommend the desire of the
majority to the Department of Territories) whether they are in favour of retaining this system.
Or whether they: • Favour a fully licenced hotel only. •Or favour the issue of restricted licenses to approved guest houses and clubs in addition to the hotel. •Or favour the issue of liquor for Medical purposes only.
According to PlM’s correspondent in late April, the liquor question “has not excited much interest as yet.”
Tf The engagement has been an nounced of Miss Gwen Allen, Samarai, Papua, to Mr. R. J. Paul local manager of STC.
