DEALERS HEAD
FAVOR EXCISE CHANGES

Paterson, Oct. 10.-Radical
| changes in the matter of excise laws,
including a State Excise Board prop
osition, were urged by President
| John Wieckert in his annual report
to the State Liquor Dealers Protec-
tive League of New Jersey, which
met here yesterday in annual con-
vention.
Mr.. Weickert favored legislation to
carry out the suggestion of Judge
Horner, Of Burlington County, that
courts be authorized to employ their
own inspectors to investigate condi-
tions in the liquor trade.
The creation of a State Excise
Board to make license rates and SUI
p~ervise the industry was also recon-
mended by the president. He would
have a complete revision OF the
states liquor laws by a special COM
mission authorized by law and rene
dial legislation to equalize license
fees. !.
