An Act to provide for the Restoration of Licences for the Sale of Intoxicating Liquor in Portion of the District formerly known as the Masterton No-licence District.
Preamble.
WHEREAS at the licensing poll held on the twenty-seventh day of November, nineteen hundred and forty-six, a poll was taken in the Masterton no-licence district on the question whether licences should be restored in that district and the determination of the electors of the district was in favour of the restoration of licences: And whereas on the twenty-eighth day of May, nineteen hundred and forty-seven, pursuant to the Masterton Licensing Emergency Regulations 1947, polls of the electors of the three portions of the district defined in those regulations were taken on the proposal that trade in alcoholic liquors in those portions of the district should be conducted by trusts representative of the local inhabitants: And whereas on the taking of the last-mentioned polls the determination of the electors of that portion of the district which is described in the Schedule to this Act (the said portion being hereinafter referred to as the Masterton Licensing Trust district) was in favour of the trust proposal and the determination of the electors of the remaining portions of the said district was against the trust proposal: And whereas it is desirable to make suitable provision for the restoration of licences in the said remaining portions of the district:
Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—
