Abe Decision
Goes 10 Court

The Palisades Citizens As
ISOLATION yesterday petitioned
Federal District Court to de-
clare void a package liquor
store license granted the Mac
Arthur Liquors. Inc. last
October by the Alcoholic Bever-
age Control Board to operate q
store at 5l36 Macarthur boule-
ward NV.
In a suit filed through at
torneys James M. Earnest and
Louis F. Oberdorfer. the as
ISOLATION contended that the
action Of the ABC Board in
granting the license was "arbi-
trary and capricious" and con-
trary to the wishes Of the resi-
dents"
The suit claimed the board
failed to require the applicant
for the license to obtain de-
finite evidence that a majority
OF the property owners and re-
sidents Of the immediate
neighborhood wanted the liquor
store. This failure. it said. is
contrary to a ruling handed
down by the board in denying
a license in another case in
1855.
The suit said that in the
present case the liquor store
was opposed by the Palisades
Citizens Association. the Francis
Scott Key Parent Teachers As
ISOLATION, the Foxhall Com
Citizens Association and
Palisades Community Church.
The suit said that 440 pro-
perty owners and residents
within a radius Of 900 feet Of
the store voiced objection to
the store and none voted for it.
The complaint declared that
despite this the board in a two
to one decision granted the
license.
The suit contends that the
board. after a hearing on the
issue was closed. on its own
evidence, decided there were
approximately l,700 persons re-
siding within the immediate
neighborhood. The S it further
contended that the board found
that the majority Of the LOO
failed to come forward to object
to the store having a license.
their silence in failing
TO object. the suit claims the
board decided the residents had
Indicated their approval OF the
license being granted.
