Senator Mapp has presented the
expected amendment to the proh.oA-
tion law, made necessary by the
changed conditions and to meet tne

is that which places with the PROM

nose Of aLl the liquors chat are confs-
Gated or captured By the state oIf'c rs
and allows him to dispose OF them BY
directing it's use for any OF the pur'
,oses contemplate bv tho Reed Law
This means that the prohibition com
missioner can dispose Of the hqua1
thus captured and the proceecs o'
converted into the state treasury. lh's
will provide for all the alcoho!e re-
o,,irernents OF the state hospitals arc
other institutions, and some IS re-
or;red for the treatment OF cersa
classes Of, patients. The state WI
save that amount.
Another change is that whlf5
n,a,es under the direction OF the peo
b;hition commissioner the issuance o
al licenses to makers and dispenser
NJ tha soft drinks sold in the s0a'@
The dealers will not be required IN
der the amended bill TO go to the *
