Offer Amendments
To State Liquor Bill



Among the 1000 bills which have
been poured into the legislative bins
at the Connecticut session Of the
general assembly are many, which.
II enacted, will have great bearing
on the future Of the liquor traffic Of
this state. More amendments TO the
liquor control act were introduced
this year than ever before with the
promise now that the liquor control
act will come IN for q stormy ges-
sion, as predicted IN the Waterbury
Democrat two weeks ago.
Bill Presented
Perhaps one Of the busiest men,
II not the busiest, In Hartford for
the past few days was Edward J.
Ryan OF Thomaston, representing
liquor interests. Mr.. Ryan was sue
cessful In having 81 amendments
introduced 10 the general assembly,
many OF which would change the
present liquor control act However
the large majority Of his proposals
include:
A blood test for persons suspected
OF driving under the influence OF
liquor. The test would be definite
and only pin prick would be rlec-
essary TO make the test.
A mandatory jail sentence OF six
months for first offense OF drunk
en- driving and a mandatory Jail
sentence Of one year for the second
offense.
To have all persons arrested and
convicted TO be finger printed and
photographed.
Amending the present liquor con-
troll act so as to allow taverns equal
rights with restaurants.
Allowing police TO search any
place selling, storing. or handling
liquors, or any place reputcd as such
without warrant.
There Is no doubt that the liquor
trade will be made n political foot
ball at this session OF the general
assembly, with pa proposed amend
ments already offered TO the gen.
cral assembly In regard to the liquor
control act It Is only q matter OF
time when each and every one of
those proposals find their way into 4
waste basket. The powerful judi
ciary committee will draft It's own
bill and that Is the bill that will be
presented into both houses of the
legislature" Mr.. Ryan said today.
Limitation
"There are only two things certain
about the coming liquor laws and
that Is the system OF the collecting
OF the sales tax as applied 10 the sale
OF hard liquor Will be changed so
that all liquors will be taxed at the
source. This means that the price
per barrel Of beer will be advanced
and the retailer will continue TO pay
the sales tax" Mr.. Ryan pointed out.
THE other will be the placing OF
a limitation on the total number OF
places which sell beer. liquor or
wine. This Is an end that Is desired
by the great majority OF legislators, >
Mr.. Ryan added.
Mr.. Ryan will confer with Gov
crnor Wilbur l.. Cross the carly part
Of this week regarding various pieces
Of legislation which Ryan Is inter-
ested in.
