Licensing Committee.

■ The annual (sitting of the Licensing J Committee was held to-day. Present —Messrs Donald Williamson, Murdoch Bruce, G. W, Leadley, G. W. Waby, H. M. Jones, W. L. Allan, and James Wallace. In the absence of the Stipen diary Magistrate, Mr Donald Williamson was appointed chairman of the meeting. A letter was read from Rev James Cceker, f < om Feilding, apologising for his absence from t,h« meeting, but hoping to be present at the September meeting. THE SALEVARDS Mr Thoiuaß Bullock appeared with Mr Donald McLean and Mr F, Standish to aak that the conditional license that used to be granted for the Aahburton S&leyards be renewed. It was pointed out by the deputation that the license had never been abused, and no drunkenness was ever to be seen there. Th^ yarte were used by many gentlemen who had to come long distances to attend the sales, and they felt it to be a hardship that on a cold morning they could not obtain the refreshment they wish without having to go into the town to a hotel. The Chairmen said the matter would be considered by the Committee. The Committee at a later period of the meeting decided not to grant any con ditional licenses in the licensing district. APPLICATIONS FOB. RENEWAL The police reports ou all the houses in the district were satisfactory. A convic tion against the licensee of the Chertsey hotel was the only item recorded against any of the houses. The whole of the holders of licenses in the district applied for renewals, and these were granted unanimously, with the exception of the application of Finlay Campbell, licensee of the Chertsey Hotel, whose license bore the endorsement of a conviction for selling liquoron Sunday, to a person not entitled to be served. The Committee heard Mr Crisp on the ' Chertsey case. The house, otherwise, was well conducted, and the offence for which the holder of the license had been cm vicbtd was not a serious one, and he had not himself been the offending party, but some one in his employ. The Committee granted the license, with a caution to Mr Campbell to be more careful in future. LAMPS Mr Crisp and Mr Outhbertson applied for permission to the hotelkeepers in Ashburton to extinguish the lamps in front of their buildings when the hotels were closed. The Committee, however, declined to grant the* concession. ELEVEN O'CLOCK CLOSING Mr Crisp and Mr Cuthbertson applied, for the hotel-keepers in the borough, for an extension of the closing time to eleven o'clock, pointing out the inconvenience of the early hour of closing to country people, boarders, people attending public meetings, etc. Mr Cuthbertson put in a petition, signed by sixty persons, in favour of an extension of time for the Central Botel, a house extensively used by the drovers and atockdealers of the county, The Committee declined the application The Committee then adjourned

THE UNEMPLOYED.

TO THE EDITOR.

Sir, —Failing an immediate reply from Hie Secretary to the Charitable Aid Board as to help intended to be given by the Government this winter in finding work for the the unemployed, I wrote to the Honorable W. J. Steward, M.H.R. who promptly laid the matter before the Premier, with tha result that the Govern ment will subsidise all moneys collected if passed through the hands of the Charitable Aid Board. I am authorised by the Mayor to state that this sr.heme has his hearty approval and that he will do all in his power to assist, and trusts that a sum of £50 may be forthcoming. This sum (with the Government subsidy) will place us on the same footing as last year (when the Town Council voted £50). The various churches might agree to give one Sunday's offertories to this laudable object, and the County Council and Town Council be asked to make grants, of say £10 each. The whole sum might be thus raised without any appreciable burden being laid upon the people. The town clerk would gladly undertake the extra duties of apportioning work in the Domain or other parts of the town, and the legitimate work thus given would not only improve and adorn the township, but set many an aching heart at rest, by giving that work which their hands are willing to do. Our men don't want pity or pauperism served out to them, but real downright brotherly help afforded them in finding work which is real and no humbug about it. I remember an inci dent of a man out of work calling on a schoolmaster and asking for a day's work. The genial wielder of the tawae agreed; Bet him to shift a pile of bricks from one aide of the yard to the other, " Sweep up clean and report." The man did so. " All right; now shift them back again ; sweep up clean and report." In about an hour the man returned and asked what else he should do. 4* All right, shift the' bricks-" ''I'm blowed if I'll shift another blooming brick. Do you think I've come off the treadmill V The man was perfectly right. AH true workmen like to see the work growing under their hands, at anyrate with some point and aim about it. In our scheme the subscribers will represent the town, as giving; work for its embellishment, and those who accept the work thus proffered, will feel that they are working for the public good, and not merely carrying " bricks " at the behest of some individual whose bump of benevolence is more largely developed than that of common sense. All sub scriptions received will be acknowledged by the Mayor.—l am, etc., T. A. Habiilton

Launston, August 18, 1894 Mr Heeeltine,—Sir, I think it is only tight that I Bhould tell you and my neighboring farmers that I am thoroughly satisfied with Walker's Bot Fly Remedies I got from you, After seeing the state of the stomach of my horee that died, I became alarmed about the rest of my stock as they nil looked bad, I drenched eight, following carefully the direc tions, It cleaned them out thoroughly and in a few days there was a wonderful obange for the better I can highly recommend it and would advise farmers to lose no time in drenching their stock lest they have their horses dropping dead bb I had, I believe it to be the only safe and certain cure for the suffering of horses Tames Lemon Aehburton Forks, March 1, 1894 Mr J Heseltino. Sir—l am very glad to tell you that Walker's Bot-fly Remedies I got from you proved quite a success with my dying horse. He was ailing for some days, his coat got very dry, the skin tight, a running at the nose and a very bad oough ; and was scaroely able to walk about; we quite ezpeoted he would die. I heard a good deal about Walker's Bot Fly Remedies, and gave it with the most satisfactory results, and shortly af er be get the last bottle he began to im> prove and by the end of a week was able for work hearty and well I believe it to be a medicine unequalled, and can recommend it with all confidence to all horse owners, as the best horse remedy in the market. Edwakd Gobbett Greenwood Farm, j Southbridge, August 2, 1892 I Mr Walker. Sir,—l am glad to bear testi mony to the wonderful effects of your Bot Fly-fly Remedies.

We bad to help him into a Btable I gave him your Remedies, and toe treatment you pre scribed, and in a few days he was quite better, and new at his work, hearty and well I quite believe, had I not given him your Remedies, he would have died. You can use this as you please. Robebt Thompson Seaside Farm, Wakanui, April 14, 1894 Mr Walker.Dear Sir, —I have great pleasure in informing you that the bot-fly mixture I got from Mr Heseltiue, your Bgent, was a wonderful success. I had four horses seriously ill on December last. After using all the remedies I could think of I was Induced to try your mixture. The result was mar vellous, I striolly followed the directions given and in a week the horses were out of danger and recovering rapidly I drenched two more in February with the same result They all put on flesh rapidly, and are now in prime order £ w P.
