ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 28.-A
bill to prohibit restaurant pa
irons in Montgomery County
from bringing thefr own liquor
has been killed by the House
Alcoholic Beverage Committee
at the request of Alger Y. Bar
bee. Democrat of Montgomery,
The bill was introduced in
the General Assembly by Mr.
Barbee'S colleague, Democrat
blair Lee III, chairman Of the
county delegation.
With the death of the bill,
there apparently is nothing to
prevent restaurant owners from
allowing customers to bring
their own bottles and mix
their own highballs, legislative
sources say.
Lee Not at Meeting
II regret that I did not get
a chance to appear before the

Mr.. Lee after the bill was killed
yesterday. He said he was in

meeting of the House Ways and
Means Committee when it was
taken up by the Alcoholic Bev-
erage Committee. He said he
was not asked to testify.
Mr.. Lee introduced the bill
after the county legislative
delegation refused request by
the Montgomery Licensed Bev-
erage Association to sponsor
legislation to liberalize the
county's liquor laws. At pres
ent, only three Montgomery
County restaurants are author
lied to serve liquor by the
