RAKAIA SPORTS BOOTH.

TO THE EDITOR. Siß,~For many years I have been m fche habit of attending the Boxing Day sports at Rakaia, and naturally take some interest m them or anything connected with them. I Was veiy much surprised at the action of the Rakaia Domain Board m qualifying the permission they gave to the Sports Con), mittee to use the Domain, to the effect that no booth for the sale of intoxicating liquors would be allowed. I think the Domain Board are usurping the i unctions of the Selwyn .Licensing Committee, which is the only body thus can say whether such a booth shall be allowed m Rakaia or not. Wh*>n the Domain Board had the Spjrts Commit; eta proposal before them they had no right whatever—if I understand the Public Domains and Licensing Acts properly—to bring up the booth question. It was outside their province. Though very much surprised that Mr W. L. Allan was able to carry his point, I know quite well the over z^al which possesses the devotee of prohibition and drives him to act m the face of all reason and common sense. No doubt Mr Allan si ill smarts under the result of last licensing election, and would eagerly seize what he believes te be a chance of retaliation. Mr Allan says m his letter of September 29, while criticising your leading article, that " the majority of the residents m the district would far rather be without the booth." How does Mr Allan know this? Does he forget what the majority of the residents decided at the last licensing election ? Who m the name of conscience is Mr W« L. Allan that he should lead ua by the nose? I understand that the Board will be asked to reconsider this matter. I hops so, for I am sure that the other members will not; agree to this unwarranted innovation —unwarranted because neither Licensing Committee nor representative meeting of the , people has decided that no booth shall be there | and innovation because a booth was ' always allowed until the law interfered. When that same law—l mean the Licensing ■ Law—interferes again, through the mouth of the Licensing Committee, it will be < necessary to do without the booth, but not < till then' Mr Allan has shown his hand, but * it remains to be seen whether he can legally \ act as Licensing Committee for this large district.—l am, etc., Irish Whisky. Ohertsey, October 9, 1897.

GRAVEL BESERVE Mr J, Watson, Wi'lowby, wrote, offering to lease the gravel reserve adjoining the school ground.—The matter was left m the hands of Messrs McQuilkin and Wilson to arrange conditions of lease. STRAY STOCK. Several ratepavera waited on the Board, respecting the injury done to their gates and fences through persons allowing siock to wander at large on the roads throughout the district. The poundkeeper, who was also present, stated tie was unable to cope with fihe complaints lodged, owing to the present system adopted by the Board of allowing certain persons to grass 3 their stock nn the ro&ds.—Tbe Board, after considerable dis cussion, decided to cancel all permits pre viously granted 5 the clerk to give notice accordingly. WORKS Tenders were opened for metalling Shep herd's road, and that of Mr IX Ryan was accepted ac lid per yard. OALIFOBNIAN THISTLE.
