The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1917-04-20

get this information the parties would
have to be paid. The officers say they
cannot pay The fees themselves. as the
County Commissioners have ruled that
officers are not entitled to any portion
of the fines.
We under tand the law is still in force
that the informer is entitled to one halt
of the fine, and we would recommend
that the County Commissioners recon-
slider their ruling i'll this matter, so as
to enable officers to employ outside as
sistance.
A resolution was passed by this
Grand Jury as follows:
Whereas, BY recent act of Congress
no license for the sale of spirltuous,
fermented or intoxicating liquors Will
be granted in the District of Columbia
after the first day of November, 1917
and whereas it is the opinion not only
of this body, but of the great majority
of the best citizens of Prince George
county, that the traffic in the sale OF
such liquors will be greatly augmented
and stimulated in Prince George
county by persons coming from the
District of Columbia into this county,
as the only territory adjacent to said
District of Columbia where such liquors
NAV be obtained, and that such in
creased traffic will work great harm to
our citizens; increase crime and I'M
morality, and add to the already great
expenses of our Court, the cost of num-
erous prosecutions and whereas it has
come to the ears of this body that
numerous persons are seeking to estab-
lish new barrooms and saloons in this
county;
Now. Therefore be it Resolved, That
it is the unanimous opinion OF the
Grand Inquest of the State of Maryland
for the body of Prince Georges county
that no new license for the sale OF In
toxicating liquor should be granted by
the Liquor Board of this county, and
that no license should be granted tc
persons now holding licenses for such
sales, at places where it is known that
the liquor law has been violated.
This bodv's attention has been called
that automobiles, teams, ETC., have
been using sidewalks in some of the un-
incorporated towns in the county as a
driveway, and would suggest that the
officers attention in those districts be
called to these violation. Communica-
ton herewith attached.
