In a Saturday issue the Penticton Press rebukes the Kelowna Courier for criticizing local licensing decisions. The writer argues licenses reflect public interest, defends democratic principles, and contends city growth should allow a third liquor license if affordable. Mossback signs off defending fair play and local business.
A reader challenges a previous Pellington Pines license report. The writer contrasts plebiscite outcomes and license applicants Milligan and Wheeler, arguing Wheeler’s background and business needs justify the hotel license despite opposition.
A Vancouver letter writer urges readers to support a Local Option Bill in British Columbia enabling municipal plebiscites on liquor. He cites U.S. and eastern Canadian examples, argues the policy is nonpartisan and local, and asks for editor endorsement for a province wide vote on whether to allow drinking in communities.
