The third term nomination of
Commissioner John Russell Young
was confirmed late yesterday by the
Senate, without debate or any
opposition vote.

cleared last week by the Senate Dis
trict Committee when it unanimously

plants concerning the refusal of
the Board Of Commissioners to lift
the ceiling on the number Of licensed
retail liquor stores.

.ABC Board 10 Study
Issue and Transfer
0fLiquor Licenses

The Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board is expected to undertake in
the very near future thorough in
vestigation of the issuance, transfer
and revocation of liquor licenses in
the District.
The study was called for by the
Senate District Committee in con-
firming the nomination of John
Russell Young for a third term as
District Commissioner. Mr.. Young's
nomination was held up for five
weeks by Senator Johnson, Demo-
crat, of South Carolina over the
liquor problem.
The three members of the ABC
Board conferred briefly with the
Commissioners today and were ad-
vised of the Senate committee re-
quest contained in a letter from
Senator Hoey, Democrat, of North
Carolina, acting chairman of the
Senate District Committee in the
absence of Senator Bilbo of Missis-
sippi.
Commissioner Guy Mason, In
whose administrative jurisdiction
the ABC Board falls, is to meet
with the board soon to outline the
details of the study.
Major complaints against the
present system of issuance ano
transfer of licenses result from the
arbitrary limit of 300 placed by the
Commissioners on the number o1
permits for off sale of hard liquor
by the bottle. Complainants con-
tend this creates a monopoly which
gives exorbitant values to this type
of license in transferring them
from one holder to another.
ABC Board Chairman Alan Payne
recently testified before a House
Appropriations Subcommittee that
the board knew of cases where such
licenses had sold for as high as
100000. The license fee for this
type of permit is $3.50 a year and
the transfer fee is $25.
On January 81 the Commissioners
held public hearing on a proposal
to raise or remove the 300 limit on
this type of license, and a little
more than a month later disap-
proved any change.
