hurt results. this arises from the very
character of the business"
The statement of Mr.. Lamond fol-
lows.
"As see the question In respect
Of the granting Of alcoholic beverage
licenses in Takoma, D. c., the first
thing that should be determined by
the Board of District Commissioners
is the intent of the A B. c. act when
it says that consideration should be
given "the wishes Of the persons re-
siding or owning property In the
neighborhood Of the premises for
which the license is desired"
What does the word 'neighbor-
hood mean In this section? To my
mind it certainly does not mean the
large territory in which a referen-
dun Is to be taken on the question.
Parts of the area in question are
mile or more from the applicants
places of business.
Blacks law dictionary defines
neighborhood as a place near: ad-
joining or surrounding district:
more immediate vicinity 1t also
states 1t Is collective noun. with q
suggestion of proximity. II reason
able Interpretation was placed on the
word neighborhood, taking In an area
Of about 500 feet from each of the
applicants places Of business, there
would be no need for q referendum
as believe there is no doubt that
at least 90 per cent of the people
within such an area would be favor
able to the granting of the licenses
in question.
Another point In favor Of the ap-
plicants is that they are in the COM
mercial zone and the immediate
neighborhood Is Zened second COM
mercial.

that this Is no conflict between vets

simply one Of prohibiting the sale OF

Deeds Forbid Sale.
"As A BACKGROUND for this feeling
IL must be known that Takonaa Park
was laid out so years ago as q subdi-
vision which extended on both sides
OF the District line by people who
we're interested In developing q high
class residential community. 1t was
planned from the FIRST TO be a place
OF residence free from the sales OF
alcoholic beverages. The deeds with
in the original subdivision contained
covenants against the sale OF alco-
holic beverages on the premises.
am informed that this was also held
out as one of the inducements for
buying In the community.
AT the same time that part OF the
subdivision lying within Maryland
was covered by the prohibition law OF
Montgomery County. which antedated
the founding OF Takoma Park. In
spite OF the repeal of national pro-
hibition Takoma Park, Md. has con-
tinued as so-called dry territory. The
people OF the town presented an al
most unanimous petition TO the
Legislature. and as a result
Takoma Park, Md. was excluded from
the effects OF the license law and per-
mitted to remain dry. Places in the
town which had been selling the So
called non-intoxicating 80 beer were
compelled by this legislation to dis
continue this business.
Always q Social Unit.
This community, so established,
has always been and is now a social
unit. The schools, churches. public
library, post ONCE and other pubic
places are used, for the most part, by
residents OF Maryland and the Dis
Evening star., 1934-08-06

IL was also shown that business in
Takoma will suffer severely and In
| fact, In some instances legitimate
business will be driven away. These
facts are further exemplified by
statistics showing that approximately
300 barrels of beer were sold the
first two weeks of July this year by
the local stores in Takoma Natur-
ally, it Is safe to assume that at least
that quantity or more was bought and
delivered to local residents from
stores outside the area. During pro-
hibition a local drug store sold an

flcient liquor to net him q profit Of
approximately $1,000 year. ven-
ture to say $4,000 or 100000 Of
legitimate business will be driven
from Takoma II the licenses applied
for are not granted.
"A large number of the residents Of
the area are closer TO beer and liquor
stores now than they are to places for
which licenses are applied in Takoma.
Many of these residents have taken an
active part In protesting the granting

trict. The stores In this area are
largely competitive with those in the
Maryland area, rather than competi-
tive with other stores In the District.
Clubs and other organizations draw
their membership from both sides OF
the line and their meetings are large
" held In public places on the Dis
trict side. Community celebrations
are conducted by the community as a
unit. 1t is therefore most natural
that In the Maryland part Of the
community the people should desire
TO have the District section free from
licenses. We know that the people
in the area may legally procure liquor
IL they wish 1t. Just as the people in
the Maryland part may procure alco-
holic beverages In contiguous terri
tory.
THE pending applications for IL
censes are first from our neighbor-
hood drug store, which is by its very
nature largely frequented By the
women and children Of the COM
munity.
The people who are opposing the
granting OI LIlc nCcAlScSs 80 NSAA- no
all other licenses. except for druggists
prescriptions, are home owners and
members of families. They are the
people who are active in local civic
affairs. AS q rule the people on the
other side are those who expect to
make money out OF the business, d.
rectly or indirectly. Possibly there
are some who really desire that alco-
holic beverages be sold locally Tor
their own convenience, regardless OF
the desire of the community at large.
while the granting OF licenses
might increase business In Takon1a,
there is very grave danger that such
places would bring some very OBJ
jectionable trade.
THE people Of the community have
no desire to hurt any legitimate mer-
chant. However, in opposing the is
suance Of licenses we feel that If any

-BowseT the Hound.
~ owsER the Hound had been
- thoroughly enjoying the chase
of Mrs. Peter Rabbit and
IL Wigglenose, her young son,
up In he Old Pasture. There
is nothing that Bowser enjoys quite
so much as a good hunt He will
even go without his meals for that.
He has a wonderful nose and he de-
lights in using 1t. Some Dogs find
pleasure only In chasing something
they can see. 1t is the excitement Of
the race that they enjoy. 1t isn't
so with Bowser. His real enjoyment
comes from using that nose OF his and
working out a dificult trail. The
more puzzling it is the more he en-
joys it. If you have a puzzle that
is easy to solve you do not take much
interest in solving it. but II you have
one that is difflcult you feel that you
just have to keep at it until you work
1t out. 1t is the same way with
Bowser when he is hunting. He en-
Joys matching his nose and wits
against the wits Of the one he is
after.
So Bowser had been having a good
time. 1t had been no end of fun to
work out the puzzling trail where Mrs.
Peter had tried to fool him by mixing
it up, breaking it by long jumps to
one side or the other. and other tricks.
When he lost the scent he patiently
worked about until he found It again,
and there was always thrill of sat
isfaction every time he did this. He
was hunting not with Just the desire
to catch and kill Mrs. Peter, but for
the fun of the game. for it really was
game TO him.
1t was fun up to the time Mrs,
Peter and Wigglenose led him into
the briars. To them those briars were
friendly, but not to Bowser. No tn
deed, they we're not friendly to Bow
ser They scratched his face and
tore his long soft ears. They made
him whine and yelp with pain. Some
times he could force his way through
and did. although the scratching he
got made him squeal. Sometimes he
had to crawl under them. But al
ways there was that warm scent in
his nose and he wouldn't give up,
He didn't expect to catch one of
those Rabbits. But he did want to
drive them to seek safety in some
place where he couldn't possibly get
them. In a way that would be win
