The Inspectors' Diculties.

The Chairman (Mr. N. L. Smith) said that all such premises were regularly inspected. It was one of the duties of the district officers but if the Board wished to see the full report of every inspector's activities they would have no time for any ether business. He thought the reason why in the case in question no report had been made, until the I complaint was lodged, was that if they licensed premises for carrying on offensive trades" it was not easy to tell the licensee that his premises. must not be offensive. There was no doubt, however, that in this case the conditions had been very bad indeed.

Mr. Braga suggested that the dis tries inspector's reports might be seen by the Board once a month.
