DRY DISTRICT AREA
ASKED BY TAK0MA
Group Is First Citizens
Association to Ask Arid
ity of Section.

The Citizens Association OF Ia
koma last night became the first
neighborhood citizens association to
make a specific request OF the DlStrlct
Commissioners to set up dry area
in Washington.
Under the terms of the liquor con-
troll act, the Commissioners Snaii
have specific authority to 1orolo
the issuance of licenses for manufac-
ture. sale or storage of alcoholic bev-
erages in such localities in, and such
sections and portions Of, the District
of Columbia as they may deem proper
in the public interest
The Takoma association asked the
Commissioners, in resolution, 10
make use OF this power in the area
in the District known as TaKoma.
George w. Offutt, chairman OF the
LIQUOR Control Board, said today
that when applicants for licenses In
the Takona area are received the
board will consider protests OF the
association. The cases will be ham
died individually, however, and not
as an area.
Previous to the passage of the act,
many citizens associations passed
resolutions expressing the desire OF
members to keep the liquor trade out
of their respective neighborhoods, and
their representatives urged these res
olutions on Congress during the joint
hearings on the liquor act. So far
as is known, however. the Takoma
resolution is the first to be sent the
Commissioners after they have been
empowered to carry out the wishes
of the citizens.
