Control Board and it was expected
these would be announced soon after
the board is organized. Several hundred
names are on the list Of applicants for
the positions of instructors, the secre-
tary Of the board. clerical assistants, as
well as for the three new positions OF
assistants to the corporation counsel,
whose office will be charged with pros
ecution Of violators Of the liquor law,
except In cases of felonies
Ban on Moving Bars.
The regulations have been drafted by
Corporation Counsel w. w. Bride and
his principal assistant, Vernon E.
West. under supervision of Commits
sioner George E. Allen.
According to reports at the District
Building, the regulations will forbid
the sale Of hard liquor between the
hours of am. and am. Under the
law itself. sale of hard liquor is forbid
den on Sunday and this would mean
that sales could not be made after mid
night on Saturdays.
There is to be a provision against
perambulating bars. such as have been
used In New York City, in q move to
evade the restriction against fixed bars.
Another regulation, it Is reported,
will forbid the mixing Of various hard
liquors in the presence of guests of
restaurants, hotels and clubs. which
may be licensed for consumption on the
premises. It was said this would not
apply to the mere preparation of a
drink consisting of a whisky and car
donated water, but would apply to the
mixing Of cocktails or other drinks
where more than one kind Of alcoholic
beverage IS used. It was said the pur-
pose Of such rule would be to prevent
a return Of bar-like conditions in public
eating places. The explanation was
that such condition would not neces-
sarily result by permitting the mere
pouring Of whisky and carbonated
water, but that it might under rule
permitting mixing Of the more elabo-
rate types Of drinks.
1t IS understood the regulations will
permit display OF sealed bottles of
liquor in places licensed to sell liquor
in closed containers.
Proper Quarters Sought.
The new liquor control board will have
charge Of license matters for beer and
wine dealers as well as hard liquor deal
ers, but the present Beverage Permits
Board. which has handled the licensing
of beer establishments, will remain in
existence for a year, to deal with beer
licenses which may remain in force for
a year, under the terms of the liquor
law.
The Commissioners will be prepared
to issue to the public application blanks
for liquor licenses soon after the liquor
measure becomes law. Bride and West
already have prepared the draft Of a
QUESTIONABLE to be used for this pur-
pose. While more than 100 establish
ments already have written informal
applications to the Commissioners,
these, as we'll as all others, will have to
fill out the official application blanks.
District officials. including Maj. Daniel
J. Donovan. auditor, are considering Sc
lection of quarters for the Alcohol Bev-
erage Control Board. They have con-
sidered renting quarters in downtown
office building, since there is no avail
able space in the District Building. but
it appeared some District department
may be moved to outside quarters so the
control board may be established in the
District Building.
The reason for this contemplated
change is that it is recognized that at
the start Of the work considerable space
will be required to accommodate the ex-
pected large number of license appli-
cants and others interested in the
matter.
