COUNTY LIQUOR
SET-UP To Be
TARGET
Grocers and Hotel Men Plan
to Protest Dispensary
Sales System

Storm clouds of discomfort are
gathering rapidly on the Mont
gomery County horizon with in
dications that they soon will burst
all over the county's brand new
liquor set-up.
Already one group Of business
men has started a movement
which probably will take the form
of formal Protest either to Gov
ernor Albert c. Ritchie or to the
Board of County Commissioners.
Other groups are expected to take
similar action within the next 4s
hours.
The Montgomery County Retail
Grocers Association will hold a
formal meeting at the Rockville
courthouse Monday night at
which it will consider the liquor
control legislation as it was taken
up by the county delegation at the
special session OF the Maryland
legislature now in progress at An
napolis. Some Of the bolder
county observers believe that they
will register vigorous opposition to
the county's handling all retail
liquor sales.
Other unorganized groups al
ready have done so, particularly
the restaurant and hotel men. The
county's rum act expressly limits
the "by the drink sale" to "coun-
try clubs having 100 OF more
members paying dues Of not less
than $50 and maintaining a nine
hole golf course" Liquor so sold
must be purchased from the
County Liquor Control Board.
The hotel men maintain that such
a phrasing of the law will seri-
ously handicap their food busi-
ness,

The District commissioners in
another resolution are requested
to erect a cupola on Taft Junior
High School, as a means of

cupola, it was stated, will be of
great material value to the build

the original plans for the build
ing. but was stricken out by the
Commissioners.
The Rhode Island Citizens AS

appoint a special committee, to
confer with a similar committee
from the Burroughs Association,
to establish boundary lines be-
tween the two organizations.
Reese Harrison asked the as
sociation to request the Capital

privilege of free bus transfers to

company, as is accorded the $1.25

filed against Fire Chief George

lands House of Delegates today
was scheduled to express itself
on a proposal to permit people
of the State to ballot on the
constitutional provision prohibit
ing State lotteries.
The measure, introduced by
Delegate Philip j. Wallace CD
of Baltimore, comes to the House
floor without recommendation,
since the committee on consti-
tutional amendments was dead.
locked in to 4 to 4 vote on the
proposition.
It is believed administration
leaders will give the measure sup
port since Governor Ritchie has
suggested the advisability of State
operated sweepstakes as a means
of raising additional revenue. and
Lester E. Muller, president of the
city council of Baltimore, has ad-
vocatd State lottery.
Wallace's proposal would pro.
vide for a referendum on the uues-
ton of discarding the constitu-
tional prohibition against lotteries
in the State, thus furnishing a
clear path for either sweepstakes
or a lottery.
Meanwhile, administration forces
announced they have decided to
keep the Legislature in session un-
til Saturday at least in order that
action may be taken on any con-
tingencies which may arise in con.
nection with the recently enacted
statewide liquor control measure.

Groves said that where these
clubs are in operation delin.
quincy has been reduced.
D. E. McCreary asked the
association to support legislation
to provide parking and recre-
alton space for Government en-
ployes. His proposal was ap-
proved after a special commit
tee, consisting of Edgar J. Huff,
Reese Harrison, Ralph H. Ellis
worth, Henry Vaden and Lars
Eiesness, had made a favorable
report.
Liquor control was debated. A
special committee having the
matter under consideration was
equally divided between the drys
and vets. After retiring to re-
write certain sections of their
resolution, it was adopted.
Control Board Sought
The plan would set up a bev-
erage control board and would
prohibit door-to-door solicitation
for orders, except in the Gown
town area. Sale Of alcoholic
beverages would be barred within
400 feet of schools, colleges and
universities. No person under 81
years would be permitted to pur-
chase alcoholic beverages. and
sale by the drink would be re-
stricted to service with food in
bonafide restaurants, hotels, clubs
and taverns.
The license fee would be suffi-
Gently high to provide adequate
Governmental revenue, but not
so high as to discourage !egiti-
mate business or to make liquor
prices excessively high.
The resolutions will be pre-
Sented by Wlbur S. Finch to the
District Commissioners at their
public hearing on liquor control.
New members elected are Eu-
