The Liverpool Billiard Hall Proprietors' Association (of which the chairman is Mr. Edwin Haigh, C.C., and the secretary Mr. John Win. Boulton), in conjunction with the Central Counties Association and the Northern Counties Association, is proposing to have a Bill drafted for Parliament to provide new arrangements for the issue of and the conditions of issue of billiard licences as applying to temperance billiard halls, and apart from and quite distinct from any connexion with the old Act of 1845 for the licensing of premises for the sale of intoxicating drink, such new regulations to be uniform throughout the country.
Mr. Boulton (1, Woodcock Street, Wigan), as secretary to the joint committee dealing with this matter, will be glad to hear from anyone connected with or interested in billiard halls, or billiards generally, as to their views and as to whether they would join the movement.
