Annual Licensing Sessions

“Eight years ago we tried an experiment that had only been tried in one or two places then, of granting an extra half hour on weekdays during the summer months. No ill-effects have been observed, and the Licensing Magistrates are still of the opinion that that half hour is very useful to the licensees and residents the town during the crowded months of the summer. Therefore, as we have no regrets of having granted it to you, we are going to renew the whole of the liquor licences on the same terms as before”.

This very satisfactory statement on the sobriety of the borough was made by the Chairman of the Licensing Magistrates (Alderman R.G. Wood) at the Annual Licensing Sessions at the Town Hall on Wednesday. The other Magistrates were Engineer Rear Admiral L.J. Stephens, Mr. J.H. Blamey, Councillor W. Hollands, Mr. F. Seager, Mr. W. Smith, and Dr. W.W. Nuttall.

An application was made for the carrying out of certain structural alterations to the South Foreland public house. Plans were submitted and it was stated that the alterations were required in order to improve the house with regard to the lavatory accommodation.

The application for the alterations was granted.
