CITY HEADS REJECT
A. B. C. LAW CHANGES
One Amendment Would Have
Required Liquor Be Locked
Up in Closed Hours.

proposed amendment to the AL
Coholic Beverage Control regulation
whereby retailers would be compelled
to keep their liquor under lock and
key during the hours the sale Of
liquor is forbidden was disapproved
today by the Commissioners. Hear
ings on the proposal were denied.
The Commissioners likewise rejected
another proposed amendment which
would bring about elimination Of all
games of chance or skill at places
where liquor is sold.
In requesting approval of the first
amendment, the A. B. C. Board said;
1T is asking too much of human
nature to expect some of our licensees
now suffering economic difficulties to
refuse good customer during for
hidden hours when it is so easy to
evade the law as now. Some of our
more outstanding licensees have VOL
unfairly closed their places on Sum-
days rather than be subjected to this
embarrassment"
The two amendments had been
sought a long time by the A. B. c.
Board.

For the first time since repeal the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
claimed today in its annual report
that the tide of intoxication has
receded in the District of Columbia"
This is especially true in the case
of minors, the board reported TO the
District Commissioners. In addition
to this showing, the board claimed,
no child under II has been arrested
for intoxieation since January /, 1885.
The greatest tragedy of the prohi-
bition era was the effect upon the
child" the report explained. Boys
and girls of immature age were just
as able to buy from bootleggers as
adults and the result was one Of the
things which impelled a disguised
public to rise in arms and vote for
repeal The figures set forth In this
report indicate that by legally regu-
lating the dispensation of intoxicat-
ing beverages it will be possible
gradually to cure this most unfor-
tunate evil
Minor Arrest Drop Shown.
Arrests Of minors for intoxication
during the first quarter for the year
numbered 70 as against 81 for the
corresponding quarter for the preced-
ing year and l21 with the correspond

quarter of the year 80 minors were
arrested compared with 143 in the
fsame quarter a year ago and l0l
in 1891.
The arrests of minors for drunk
enness in former years, the board
pointed out, represented real chal-

law enforcement and police Corpora
ton we are sparing no effort to
correct this most unfortunate condi-
ton, as the children must be pro-
tected," the board asserted.
Declaring the drunken driver is a
hazard which we should not tolerate"
the report recommended Jail SEN
fences and revocation of licenses for
long periods for all who so forget
their duty to society as to fall within
this class of offenders"
Ire economic value OF legalized
liquor during the fiscal year to July
was startling" in its effect on the

PARKS PROMISED
BIG IMPROVEMENT
.Finnan Hits Idea P. W. A.
Fund Will Be Wasted,
in Telling of Plans.

Much better results are expected
from the new 81 900 900 P. w. A. local
park improvement program than those
attained under the Civil Works Ad-
ministration projects, according to c.
Marshall Finnan, superintendent of
the National Capital Parks.
He made this statement today in re-
Spouse to questions, raised by some
persons, who contend that even though
workmen dug up the ground, used fer
tilizer and planted grass seed. under
the Civil Works Administration pro-
gram, the parks look little the better
for it. A suggestion was made that
the new money to be spent would, in
effect, be thrown away. but Finnan
took occasion to combat that idea.
Material Contribution.
If it had not been for the Civil
Works Administration program. there
would be no grass at all in certain
downtown areas, such as in the Ellipse,
Fblnan insisted. He paid tribute to
that set-up. carried on under Fed
eral Relief Administrator Harry L.
Hopkins, and said the C. w. A. work
ers contributed materially TO the park
system. He conceded that the grass
Is brown in spots, but attributed this
to the recent 90-degree weather and
the fact these areas are now getting
such intensive use.

grass under some of the large trees,
such as in Franklin Park, Finnan as
serted that in dense shade, it is impos-
sible to grow grass. He said the new
Public Works Administration program
cannot be expected to work miracles.
He pointed out, however. that in GER
tain areas where reconditioning work
has been done, there is grass under
some of the large elms.
Third for Materials.
Under the Civil Works Administra-
ton program, he pointed out, officials
were limited to spending about one
third fof materials, with the resi-
going to labor. Under the Public
Works Administration set-up, he be-
lieves the proposed program will allow
more for materials. This will enable
his Office TO purchase more topsoi
and planting material than under the
previous program. Further, said the
park chief, he will be able to put In
sprinkler system in some of the
parks. which will be of great benefit
in keeping them green. Topsoil will
be purchased for many of the parks
for the first time in many years, ht
declared.
