Liquor Law Change

Association Seeks to

The Rhode Island Avenue Citi-
zens' Association last night went on
record as favoring a District liquor
law amendment to the effect that
in suburban communities property
zoned as commercial should have
q 1,200-foot radius instead Of the
present 900 feet. H. E. Spitsberger,
who sponsored the resolution, stated
that the law should be changed
so that In outlying communities
property zoned as commercial be
voted as consenting only in cases
that it is occupied He added that
this Is desirable because in reSiden-
tial districts much of this property
is used for playground purposes, and
these locations are surrounded by
private homes which cannot be used
to prevent the issuing of license
because they are out of the territory
which determines whether a license
shall be issued.
The association expressed its re-
gret that Senator King, chairman OF
the Senate District Committee, is
leaving Capitol Hill after years of
service to the District. John l..

to compete in the Eastern States
