Dealers Plea 10 End
Cancellation System
For Whisky Denied

The Commissioners yesterday
refused a request by wholesale
and retail liquor dealers that
they eliminate cancellation
numbers placed on bottles of
whisky.
Their decision came after a
conference with Joseph McGar-
raghy, attorney for Washington
hotels. and Bourbon A. Dawes,
secretary of the District Hotel
men's Association. They told the
Commissioners the cancellations
should be continued as a public
safety measure.
They also told the Commits
sioners they had a few cases
where juveniles were found
drunk in hotels and that unless
they could offer proof by the
cancellation numbers on the bot
ties in the rooms. the hotels
would probably be accused Of
selling the liquor to the minors.
The liquor dealers complained
Of the extra work entailed in
cancelling the stamps.
Liquor stamps must be can
celled by the wholesaler before
he affixeS them to the bottles
and the retailer has to put his
cancellation number on the
stamps within "a hours after
receiving the shipment.
It was understood that the
Police Department also is against
eliminating the cancellations be-
cause they can identify the seller
in cases where such information
is needed.

BroyhiI| Backs
District Officials
On Est. Bridge
Plans to Offer Bill
On Project at Next
Session Of Congress

Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican, of Virginia has de-
cided to support the District
government and introduce bill
calling for construction of a new
Potomac River bridge at E street.
Mr.. Broyhill said he would in
troduce the bill when Congress
conveneS.
Location of the bridge at the
E street site would send it across
Theodore Roosevelt Island. This
location is. opposed by the Ma
tional Capital Planning Commits
sion and the Theodore Roosevelt
Island Association.
Agree Bridge Is Needed.
All sides have conceded that
the stalemate will have to be
settled in Congress. This pro-
cedure was used to determine the
site of the East Capitol Street
Bridge and the new Highway
Bridge when similar dispute
arose between the District and
the Planning Commission.
Both the Planning Commission
and the District Highway De-
partment agree a central bridge
is needed to handle traffic now
overlooking existing bridges.
But they have been unable to
reach agreement as to the site.
Has Jones Point Bill.
Mr.. Broyhill already has intro
duced bill calling for the Fed
eral Government to build a
bridge at Jones Point.
This bridge would connect
Alexandria with Prince Georges
County just below the District
line and would be a part of a
highway system ringing the city.
Mr.. Broyhill said both bridges
are needed and his intention of
backing the E street bridge does
not mean he is giving up on the
Jones Point bridge. Jones Point
is needed to relieve Alexandria
and Arlington from heavy traffic
and also will help the downtown
Washington traffic situation, he
pointed out.
Mr.. Broyhill made his decision
to support the E street bridge
site after recent conferences
with District highway officials.
