Massey Trouble Again

Prosecution will follow the sale of university capping magazines at New Plymouth if a licence is not obtained in future, the New Plymouth City Council has decided.

The decision followed receipt of a letter from the New Plymouth branch of the Nation Council of Women asking whether consent had been given Massey University of Manawatu students to sell their magazine "Masskerade'' from cars parked in Currie Street.

The branch will be told that no licence was applied for under provisions of the council's by-laws and if there are further breaches and sufficient information can be obtained a prosecution will follow.

But the council will add that if a licence is sought it could not be declined on the grounds of the contents of the magazine, which is a matter outside Jurisdiction of the council.
