Beer Tax Refund
Problem Perplexes
Co. Commissioners
Friendly Suit To Determine
Action Is Agreed Upon
This Week

A friendly lawsuit will be resorted
to in settlement of the problem of
distributing refunds of $13,458 in ex-
cess beer taxes collected by the Mont
gomery County Liquor Control Board
it was decided at a meeting of the
board of County Commissioners Tues
day in Rockville after the situation
was discussed with F. Barnard Welsh,
counsel to the board, and Joseph C.
Cissel and Frank B. Proctor, attorn-
eys for the county beer dealers as
sociation.
The refunds represent the amount
collected by the liquor control board
during the period from May 18, 1887
to May 2, 1888, in excess of 5 cents
a case and so cents a half barrel of
beer. Prior to May 18, 1887, the tax
was double that amount and the old
tax was collected thereafter despite
action of the Legislature ordering the
reduction. The collection was con-
testedin court and was finally settled
in favor of the beer dealers by the
Maryland Court of Appeals three
weeks ago.
A delegation from the Montgomery
County Farm Bureau appeared before
the board Tuesday to urge appoint
ment of county sealer of weights
and measures. Josiah w. Jones, presi-
dent of the Farm Bureau, told the
board such an officer is required by
law and necessary equipment already
isowned by the county.
Ordinances requiring all dogs to be
muzzled between June 1 and Septem-
ber 16 in the suburban area and also
requiring that all fruits and vege-
tables displayed in front of stores be
kept at least feet above the ground
were unanimously adopted.
The board opposed a proposal to
establish colored Civilian Conserva-
tiOn Camp at Carderock, near Glen
Echo. Sale of $4,000 of tax sale cer-
tlticates were authorized.

Coach Dan Ahearn'S charges,

Although the Upshur Street

the Tech powerhouSe-the score
being 15-O-Western's potent
