Police officials testified that

from the killing of a police

District Heads Ponder
Liquor Bottle Marking

The District Commissioners
are expected to act within the
next few weeks on the difficult
question of liquor stamps.
Last week they held a public
hearing on whether the city
should continue regulations
that would require that liquor
bottles be stamped before sale,
a method which identifies
dealer has sold the merchan-
disc.
On the one hand, Police Chief
Robert v. Murray has made a
strong argument in favor of
continuing the stamp require
ment because 1t gives the police
a valuable aid in solving some
cases.
On the other hand, liquor
dealers in the city have ar
gued against the stamping re-
quirement, claiming that in the
last five years it has meant
81 million in labor costs.
And in the midst of the ar
guments stands the intent OF
the House District Committee
which authorized the legisla-
ton permitting the identified
ton stamp.
William N. Mcleod. jr., chief
clerk of the House District
Committee, told the Commits
Sioners the committee intended
that the city heads not con-
tinue the stamping require
ment.
What the committee desired
in the law, Mr.. Mcleod told
reporters. was that the Com
missioners retain the power to
require the identity stamps but
not require them until it is
clear that the stamps are ac-
tually needed.
Then, should the need be
found. the city heads could re-
store the regulations requiring
them without having to get a
new law passed through Con-
gresS.
The matter has come before
the Commissioners as a result
