ANNAPOLIS, Md, Mar. A.
Laws increasing the number
of Prince Georges County liq-
uor licenses and doubling their
annual fees will be introduced
in the Maryland Assembly next
week.
The county delegation last
night said they would introduce
a bill lifting the number of
licenses, now frozen at 365. The
number of new licenses and
their location would be left to
the discretion of the liquor
board.
A 5000 filing fee would be
required with each application
for a new license. The annual
renewal fees to be doubled now
range from $3.50 to $3.50.
The proposals are an out
growth of a grand jury rec
ommendation last year urging
measures to prohibit the sales
of licenses among dealers who
pay up to $4,000 before COM
pleting the transfer with the
liquor board. Lawmakers feel
the availability of licenses will
eliminate their monetary value,
Lansdale G. SasScer, jr.,
chairman of the county dem
ocratic delegation, said a pub
lie hearing would be held be-
fore the Assembly acts on the
liquor bills.
Other liquor bills to be in
troduced would:

He said only Garrett and

Mr.. Kahl said the commits
