According to an opinion forwarded to the
Commissioners today by Corporation Coun-
sci E. II. Thomas. the Washington Jockey
Club will hereafter be required to have two
licenses If it wishes to have liquor sold both
in the club house and under the grand
stand at the Benning track. Further than
this, Mr.. Thomas recommends that the club
be informed that the assignment of the
right TO sell intoxicating liquor which the
club is alleged to have practiced, is illegal
This finding marks the end of a contro-
versy dating back to the spring meeting at
the Benning race course in April when the
Anti-Saloon League, through its attorney,
A. f. Shoemaker. and through its official
organ, the Patriot, called attention to what
IT characterized as open violation or
the law at Benning stating that the Wash
ington Jockey Club maintained three bars
when II had only one bar room license,
and further that the club Harmed out" the
liquor privilege to the highest bidder In
Mr.. Thomas opinion the jockey club can
establish as many bars as 1t chooses be-
meath the grand stand. the law seemingly
requiring only that the dispensaries for in
toxicants authorized by one license shall be
under cover.
