BARMAIDS, ENROL!

THE METHOD OF REGISTRATION.

REGULATIONS GAZETTED

1 Tftey have - been a fruitful topic for conversation over bar counters for several weeks—have these regulations. Imaginary provisions have (says the ‘‘Dominion”; been read .into tnem, and indignation has been poured out hot and strong against the powers that wanted them and the powers that created them. Glasses have been emptied to their confusion, and filled again. Now, the v. hole tiling probably will be gone over again, for to-day barmaids in the Dominion will know definitely what it is that they are expected to do in registering themselves as barmaids, and so will their numerous acquaintances. Now they will know that when the present, generation of barmaids dies out m New Zealand there will be none to take-their place. The genus barmaid will be as extinct as the dodo. Last night’s Gzette gave the registration provisions (under the Licensing Act of last session), as follow: “Every person desiring to be registered as a barmaid shall, on or before the first day of June, 1911, forward to the Secretary of Labour, at Wellington, an application in duplicate. “Every cueli application shall be accompanied by a statutory declaration. “On the Receipt of the application, the Secretary of Labour shall, if satisfied that the applicant is entitled to be registered, cause the name of the applicant and the prescribed particulars, to be entered in the Registrar of Barmaids. “The Secretary of Labour shall cause to be kept a Register of Barmaids. “On the entry of the name in the Registrar of Barmaids the Secretary of Labour shall issue a certificate of registration.” • In the application for registration the applicant is required to state whether she is single or married, and supply her address, and to send the following declaration: I, , of , do solemnly and sincerely declare that, since the 21st day of November, 1909, I have been employed as a barmaid for a continuous period of not less than months, as follows: • Name and Address of Period License or Licensees. employed. From to From to And 1 make this Solemn declaration conscientiously behoving the same to be true, and by virtue of the Justices ol the Peace Act, 1808. (Signature of declarant.) 'Declared at , this day of ,19 , before me—- ’ Justice of the Peace (or solicitor, or notary public). The registrar to be kept by the Secretary for Labour records each barmaid’s register number, the date of registration, her full name, her address, the name of the licensed premises in which she is employed and any remarks regarding registration that may be considered necessary. A certificate of registration will then be issued, to bo signed by the Secretary for Labour.
