The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Auckland Provincial District]

[introduction]

The Auckland Licensing Committee is charged with the issue and regulation of licenses under the Alcoholic Liquors Sale Control Act, and its sphere extends to the boundaries of the Auckland City electoral district. Since the establishment of woman suffrage the Temperance Party has placed many of its adherents on the various Licensing Benches of the colony, and this is particularly noticeable with regard to the Auckland Licensing Committee, which was elected in March, 1900, for a term of three years. The Stipendiary Magistrate, Capt. H. W. Brabant, is, ex-officio, chairman, and there are five members. The hour of closing the hotels in Auckland is ten o'clock.
