Of this bill. 1t is similar to one In Mas
sachusetts. If it is necessary for MIN
to have such a law as this, | shall
certainly vote for 1t. As regards the
reference to buttcrmilk made by the
gentleman from Bangor (Mr BeaD

plaUseD
Mr.. ALLAN of Portland: | do NOT
think the bill is ridiculous in any
sense. II will be an aid in the enforce
ment of the liquor law in our county,
at least. if not all over the State. Cum
berland county has taken pronounce
ed View On this liquor question. In the
enforcement of the law our sheriff
has found that the shops where light
beers are sold have been a hindrance
to the enforcement of the law In one
case he made certain seizures. The
matter went to our court and the de-
ciSion was that the beers We're not in
toXicating and they We're given back.
The effect was that within u hours
in the city Of Portland, shop after shop
was opened FOR the sale of these beers
But the people do not want to drink
the~e beers. These shops are opened
ard under cover of these small beers
the harder liquors are sold without 50
much liability to detection. There is
now pending in our court case where
an officer has been sued for dana geS
because he has seized liquors that were
not Intoxicating. The effect of that Will
be that when liquor sellers find chat
the officers are not Selling lithia beer
every kind of liquor will be marked
lithia or uno beer in order to escape
the enforcement OF the law. | submit
for the reason that it Will help us en-
force our law, we should pass this bill.
