Maryland Demands
Boat Liquor Licenses

Excursion boats leaving Washing
ton for cruises down the Potomac
that sell beer and wine must have a
Maryland Alcoholic Beverage Divi-
sion license If they go beyond Jones
Point, the end of the District juris-
diction.
In letters to the Wilson Line, Inc,
and the Potomac River Lines, Inc,
Roger V. Laynor. chief of the Mary
land Alcoholic Beverages Division
said representatives of his office had
made the trip and had observed
beverages being sold while the boats
were in Maryland waters and that
consequently, they would be COM
PEELED to take out Maryland licenses
In his letter to the Potomac River
Lines, he said the steamship Poto-
mac, on which beer. wine and liquors
are sold. must obtain Maryland
license which costs $75 year. The
Robert E. Lee, also operated by the
same company but on which only
beer is sold, must pay a fee of $50
it was stated. However, as the boats
do not run all year round the fees
will be prorated.
The Mount Vernon, another Poto-
mac River excursion boat does not
serve beer or liquors, but If an Or
ganization charters the boat and
sells beer, the organization must pay
IS day to sell beer in Maryland
waters.
In addition to the license fees,
they will have to pay the Maryland
tax of cents per gallon, or 6A cents
case on beer. The tax would be
collected from the steamships.

He estimated that of the 10000

This number" Mr.. Hannah said
"is so small compared to our tota
