LIQUOR PRICE BAN
IN ADS PROPOSED
A. B. c. Board to Consider
Confining Rates to
Printed Form.

A proposed new regulation which
would ban the use of prices in any
form Of advertisement for the sale Of
alcoholic beverages will be considered
by the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board at public hearing to be held
October II, officials Of the board an
nounced today.
While the final draft of the proposed
rule has not been completed, officials
said the proposed plan was to forbid
the use OF prices in newspaper ads, or
on any form of notice on liquor goods
on the shelves of dealers, or on their
store walls or windows, or in dodgers.
or other form of advertisement. 1t was
understood the rule would permit a
listing Of prices only on printed forms
which might be displayed by a dealer
to prospective customer, upon request
by the latter.
The A. B. c. Board. it was said.
drafted the proposed regulation at the
request of Manuel Davis, counsel to
the District Exclusive Retail Lioucr
Dealers Association, a trade group
consisting of retailers who sell only
liquor goods.
Protests against the proposal have
been received by the board from
number of dealers who are not mem
bers of the association. Some of them
are said to have argued that the ulti-
mate effect of adoption of such a rule
would be to force some of the cut.
rate liquor retailers out of business.

pose Of the plan.

was urged in a letter from the Key

the posting of speed limit signs on
both sides of Wisconsin avenue from
the District of Columbia line to Brad
ley lane
The letter occasioned the lifting of
eyebrows among the members of the
Montgomery County police force in
that area, for, the police say, the signs
already are in place and have been for
a long time.
Irrespective of who is right-the

the speed limit for northbound traffic
is IS miles per hour from the District
line to point 200 feet south of
Bradley lane. where the speed limit
is reduced to Is miles an hour. 1t
raises to 45 miles an hour again
just north of Bethesda
Southbound traffic is limited to Is
miles an hour through Bethesda to
point 200 feet south OF Bradley
lane, where the speed rate increases
to 35 miles an hour Police said the
difference between the limits on the
northbound and southbound traffic
lanes south Of Bradley lane is due to
the heavy residential development
along the southbound lane and the
total lack of such development along
the northbound lane.
