BARMAIDS’ REGISTRATION.
ANOTHER FLAW REPORTED
[PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM]
WELLINGTON, Dec. 17. A legal opinion on the Barmaids’ Registration Amendment Act of last session is that the Act is just as faulty as the measure it amended in that while it purports to prevent the employment of unregistered barmaids in private bars it fails entirely to do so. Tins failure is said to be due to the fact that no such place as a private bar is known to the law. Recently the secretary of the Hotel Employees’ Federation wrote to the Minister-for Justice stating that unregistered girls were still employed in private bars. The Minister was asked either, to put the Act into operation or if it were really defective to have the position tested. Hon. A. L. Herdman has just replied that the Commissioner of Police has been instructed to place the whole matter before the Crown Law officers for consideration and report.
