the name of Walter L. Fowler

Tor many years has been assigned
to land condemnation cases at

surveyor, who has served for some

A.B.C. Board Urges Restrictions
In Liquor Advertising
Revised Rules Provide Bon on Use
Of Hondbi||s in Soliciting Sales

Modified restrictions on various
means Of advertising OF alcoholic
beverages, including publications,
radio and dodgers, were recon-
mended to the Commissioners yes
terday by the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board, as the result of
public hearing on the more drastic
proposals held August 3.
The board has eliminated it's orig
inal proposals which would have
forbidden the use of neon or other
intermittently flashing signs, re-
stricted all liquor, beer and wine
signs to an area of 10 square feet,
and ordered the removal within 90
days OF any signs not permitted by
the proposed rules.
One paragraph of the revised
rules places ban on use of hand
bills, whether they are sent through
the mails or otherwise distributed.
In this connection. Thomas E. Lodge.
board chairman, declared the board
/ felt this rule would tend to reduce
price-cutting which he said is 80
injurious to the small class A
licensees" (those selling liquor of all
kinds by the PACKAGE. He also de-
clared the board felt this rule would
reduce public criticism against the
present wide distribution of hand
bills and circulars.
However. Mr.. Lodge said objec-
tion to this rule had been voiced
by the Graphic Arts Association and
some printing and other Arms.
The board also recommended
adoption Of series of prohibitions
against certain kinds of advertising
statements and practices, in a move
to improve standards. Chairman
Lodge said he anticipated but lit
tie objection to this section.
This portion of the proposed new
regulations would provide that no
licensee, either directly or indi-
rectly, may publish or otherwise
disseminate, through any radio
broadcast, or in any newspaper,
periodical or publication, or by any
sign, placard or other printed mat
ter, any advertisement which:
l. Contains any false or deceiv-
ing statement, or which in any way.

2. Does not provide information

type and proof or alcoholic content
by volume of any alcoholic bev-
erage, except malt beverages, wines
containing IA per cent or less alco-
hol by volume, other than cham
pagnes and artificially carbonated
wines. This rule would not apply
to wine lists and menus furnished
guests in on-sale places.
3. Does not state whether the bev-
erage advertised, other than cordials,
liqueurs and specialties, contain neu-
trail spirits and, if so, the percentage
thereof and from what distilled.
