Takapuna Licensing Committee.

(To tho Editor,) Sib,—Kindly allow mo a few words in reply to a letter in your issue of Saturday signed Alfred Chadwick. Boforo answering Mr Chadwick's questions sonatina, allow mo to inform him that tho present Committee do not seek ro-election, that tho programme of Messrs Fenton, Vospor, and Marks, is just as well (if not better) known to tho electors than that of the othor candidates, thoir motto boing, liberty, law, order, sobrioty, early closing, and no Sunday trading. As regards Mr Chadwick's in sinuation ro my not answering anony mous scribblers, as boing awkward questions, I may Bay that I am not awaro of any questions having been asked to which I cannot givo a straightfor ward roply. Mr Chadwick having signed his name, I havo much plonsuro in answer ing his questions:—l. Thoro having been no breach of tho Licensing A-1 during my term of office, thoro was no necessity for the ponal clauses boing called into requisition. 2. I consider 10 o'clock p.m. a good time for closing tho bars, but I certainly think that tho private doors of hotols should remain open till a later hour for the convonionce of boarders and tho travelling public. ■ 3. Not having had much oxperience on tho barmaid question, I am unable at present to give a dofinito opinion on tho subject, but should I havo tho honour to bo^olected, and the question corner before the Com mittee, tho electors may depend that it will havo my earnest consiicration. 4. I om proud to say that I have the honor to bo a member of the Takapuna Jockey Club. 5. What Company does Mr Chadwick refer to—is it the Ferry Company? 6. Not knowing how often tho license may bo applied for, I am unable to say. 7. Tho contest is taken up solely on public grounds. S. Yes; if carried on in con formity with tho Licensing Act. 9. Yes. They wero nominated at the only advertised public meeting called for the purpose, and finally, if elected, I can safely say that the public will bo well and faithfully sorved. —Apologising for trespassing so much on your valuable spaco, I am, &c,
