the Board of Commissioners.
Postmaster General Farley had q
\ conference during the morning with
Secretary Mcintyre at the executive
offices, and it was understood it had
some connection with the plans for
operation Of the District iquor-control

that application blanks for establish

that prohibition against service bars
IN hotels and clubs was strengthened.

made for an appropriation to cover the
cost of renting outside, since the Dis

establishments already have applied for
licenses, but agents for these places
will have to fill out the official blanks.
