Authorization of Poll of Electors Residing in Part of the Special Area of Heriot in Central Otago Licensing District (Licensing Amendment Act (No. 2) 1953, Sections 14 to 17)

WHEREAS the Licensing Control Commission, following the review of the distribution of licences in Central Otago Licensing District, is of opinion that the issue of a publican’s licence should be authorized in the township of Heriot, which lies within part of Tuapeka County and part of the said Licensing District:

And whereas the said township of Heriot and certain other neighbouring localities lie within a special area as defined by section 14 (1) of the above-named Act:

And whereas the Tuapeka County Council has, by resolution, made formal application to the Commission to authorize the taking of a poll of electors residing in part of the special area (which part is defined in the Schedule hereto):

Take notice that the Commission, upon making inquiry into matters affecting the said application, and upon considering certain recommendations of the said Tuapeka County Council, hereby authorizes the taking of a poll of electors residing in that part defined in the Schedule hereto of the special area of Heriot on the proposal that the issue of licences be authorized therein (referred to as the licensing proposal), and on the further proposal that, if the licensing proposal is carried, every licence so authorized be issued to a local Trust (referred to as the Trust proposal):

Pursuant to section 14, subsections (4) and (5) of the said Act, the Commission specifies the majority required to carry the licensing proposal as three-fifths of the valid votes recorded in respect of that proposal. (Subsection (6) of said section 14 provides that the Trust proposal shall be deemed to be carried by a bare majority):

Pursuant to section 15 (1) of the said Act the Commission—
(a) Defines the area described in the Schedule hereto as the area within which the poll is to be taken.
(b) Fixes Saturday, 19 February 1955, as the date for taking of the poll.
(c) Fixes Wednesday, 9 February 1955, as the date for closing of the roll of electors.
(d) Appoints Ronald Fyfe Batchelor, County Clerk, of Lawrence, Returning Officer in respect of the poll, and authorizes him to arrange and appoint such polling place or places within the area defined in the Schedule, and such deputy returning officer or officers and/or clerks as he deems advisable, for the purposes of the poll.
(e) Directs the said Returning Officer to publish, at least once in the Otago Daily Times and the Tapanui Courier, in the earliest available issues of those newspapers, a copy of this authorization, notice, and Schedule; and further directs the said Returning Officer to publish in the said newspapers a notice stating where the roll may be inspected within the special area as well as at his County office, and the situation of the polling place or polling places appointed by him within such special area.
(f) Directs that the cost of preparing rolls and conducting the poll shall be borne by the Tuapeka County Council.
(g) Directs that the said Returning Officer may use the roll of electors of the Electoral District of Central Otago for the time being in force, together with any supplement thereto and with the alterations and additions made by the Registrar of Electors of that District, and may use also in his discretion the County roll of the Tuapeka County, for the purpose of ensuring that electors residing in the area defined in the Schedule hereto are entitled to vote, and may in his discretion prepare a special roll of the electors residing within the said area (either handwritten, typewritten, or printed) to be used as the roll for the taking of the poll.

(NOTE.—Section 16 of the said Act provides (inter alia) that every poll, as above, . . . ‘shall be taken in the same manner as polls in no-licence districts relating to local restoration, and the provisions of the principal Act’’ (i.e., the Licensing Act 1908) ‘‘relating to licensing polls, so far as they are applicable, shall apply.’’).

For and on behalf of the Licensing Control Commission—
E. R. GRAHAM, Secretary.
