City Cafe Licence Transfer Granted in Canberra Court
The Licensing Magistrate Mr. A Hardwick granted the transfer of the Civic Cafe licence from Mr. Matthew Parker to Mr Edward Montague O Keefe who will manage for the proprietors. The move follows the lease to private enterprise after government control. The action required a ministerial date adjustment due to an earlier error. The new licence has Mr O Keefe serving at the Civic Cafe rather than the Hotel Canberra, and the decision avoided a dual licence under the Liquor Ordinance. The application was adjourned to afternoon when the interior minister altered the termination date of Mr O Keefe’s Hotel Canberra service to 1 pm yesterday. HB. Dicknnn appeared.
