EATING HABITS.
_____

Workington Beehive Cooperative Society are to apply to  the Magistrates next
month for a conditional license which will enable them to  sell intoxicating
liquor to bona fide diners at their Vulcan’s Labe  Café.

A license in similar terms, was granted recently to  Mr. J. HARRISON in
respect of the ball room and dining room of the hotel annexe  which he is building
in Corporation Road. It was a decision which encouraged  several caterers in
town to examine the possibility of a conditional  license.

Several years ago an application in respect of the  Tuscan Villa Hotel was
rejected, but eating habits are changing and there seems  little point in
Workington being left behind in these matters. If a person wants  a drink with a
meal surely there is little harm done.
