A. B. c. BOARD GETS
PLAN TO PERMIT
SALES TILL 1OP.M.
HoWSIey Submits SuggeS-
ton at Request of Officials
for Alterations.
MOVE FOR UNIFORMITY
IN HOURS is DESIRED
Proposed Regulation Would Al
low Stores to Remain Open
Two Hours More.

Stores selling bottled liquor. wines
and beer would be allowed to remain
open until 10 pm. under changes IN
the liquor regulations proposed to the
District Commissioners today by As
sistant Corporation Counsel Andrew M
HoWsley. The changes were submitted
after the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board had requested the Commis-
s!oners to alter the regulations.
George w. Offutt, chairman of the
A. B c. Board, said the changes pro-
posed were suggested in a movement
to obtain uniformity in the hours of
sale of bottled liquor and bottled wine
and beer so as to aid in enforcement
of regulations. The proposed new
plan extends the hours of sale of bot
tied liquor. reduces somewhat the
hours of sale of bottled wine and
beer and would forbid the sale OF
bottled wine and beer on Sunday
now permitted.
The hours during which bottled
beverages Of all kinds could be sold
under the proposed new regulation
would be from 8 a m. to 10 pm. Un-
der the present rules bottled spirits
may be sold only between am. and
8pm., except on Saturdays when the
closing hour is pm. Under present
regulations bottled beer and wine
may be sold between 8 am. and mid
night.
Some Unaffected.
Establishments having licenses per-
mitting them to sell beverages for
consumption on their premises would
not be affected by the proposed new
rule, such sales being permitted be-
tween 9 I'm. and ? am. Hard liquor
may not be sold by "on-sale" licensees
on Sundays, but wine and beer may
be served on Sundays.
The proposed new rules would not
affect druggists having licenses to
sell liquor on prescription by the
bottle nor persons who obtain the
Glass F licenses for special occasions.

Hearing on April IL.

Donohue and Thomas E. Lodge filed
