Eastern Shore Dry
As Liquor Runs Out
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
SALISBURY, Md, July 16.-Pro-
hibition without bootleggers has re-
turned to the Maryland Eastern
Shore, temporarily at least, with
the virtual exhaustion of stocks of
beer, wine and hard liquors.
Local distributors serving the
shore area said today there was less
beer on hand than at any time in
the 10 years since the return of 80
beer here, Local supplies of dis
tributors for the lower shore area
were estimated at 800 cases, whereas
1000 cases are normally distributed
in the area each day.
The Wicomico County dispensary,
the county's only liquor outlet, was
completely sold out Monday and
stocks have been replenished only
slightly since then.
Distributors said that more than
go night clubs and taverns on the
lower shore and at Ocean City were
planning to close until the beer
crisis is eased. Several Ocean City
night clubs have closed, they said.
Rationing of beer caps, cases and
ingredients and decreased transpor-
tation facilities, as we'll as the
shortage of grain at breweries, were
blamed by distributors.
One distributors warehouse was
empty and his orders for new stocks
have not been confirmed. Another
declared there would be less than
1000 cases available by the end of
the week.
