They number 435. The third largest group, numbering 398, is composed of Class A retailers, who are permitted to sell hard liquors as well as wines and beers for con- sumption away from the premises. This license costs $750. To Curb Bottled Sale. The board within the past few days has decided to place a curb on the is- suance of licenses for the sale of bot- tled liquors. This policy with respect to the Class A licenses was adopted because the board felt that sufficient of these establishments for adequate service to the community already are in operation. Then come the Class C retailers, 250 strong. This license, Mr. Offutt explained, permits operation of estab- lishments more closely approximating the old-time saloon than any other repeal store, Issued only to hotels, restaurants, clubs, dining cars and boats, it sanctions drinking on the premises of all forms of liquor. Re- strictions which go with this license are: (1) The principal business of the establishment must be dispensation of food—not drinks. (2) No liquors may be sold in pack- ages for consumption off the premises. (3) Customers must be seated at tables while drinking (doing away with the saloon-era brass rail). (4) Bottled goods may not be dis- played in the establishment. Class E retailers’ licenses are the drug store licenses. There have been 11 Class E licenses issued. 15 Licenses Revoked. During 1934 74 licenses were de- nied and 15 were revoked. Twenty- eight licenses were denied because the establishments were too close to schools, five because of proximity to churches, three because of objections by a majority of citizens in the neigh- borhood of the establishments and two because of objections by hospitals. Fif- teen licenses were denied because of “inappropriateness,” eight because of bad records of the applicants, eight because the applicants were not cit- izens and five because it was found the establishments seeking licenses were not bona fide restaurants or clubs. Mr. Offutt said that the 400-foot radius suggested by the regulations as dry zones around schools was extended | in some cases in acceding to protests | of school authorities. School officials | have been consulted in each instance where proximity to schools was in- | volved in the application for license, | he stated. | Of the 15 license revocations, 9 | were for violating the rule against | Sunday sale and one each for the | following reasons: Failure to pay for license, selling without prescription, . permitting gaming, selling to intoxi- cated persons, selling off-sale when the license called for on-sale only, | and employing a person convicted | within five years of violating the pro- hibition law.

Disquieting also are the figures on arresis for intoxication. In 1933, a total of 19,165 persons were arrested for intoxication. In 1934, exactly 24,053 were arrested on that increase of 4,838, or 255 per cent. Inspector L. 1. H. Edwards of the Police Department has broken down these figures into age groups. This analysis reveals that while only four persons under 17 years old were rested for intoxication last year, compared to six m 1933, there was an increase of 51 per cent in arrests of persons between the ages of 17 and 21 and an increase of 34.6 per cent in arrests of those over 21 years.

Mr. Offutt said he can find little satisfaction in these figures. He be- leves they point.to the need for a vigorous campaign for temperance in ‘Washington. He has asked such or- ganizations as churches, the Young Men’s Christian Association and other civic and social bodies to aid in wag- ing this campaign. More can be done by education than by regulation, he contends. The board is seeking to reduce drunken- ness by enforcing rigidly the regula- tion against selling liquor to an in- toxicated person. Personal observa- tion by members of the board, he Under 17 . 17 to 31 sh penalizing licensees in addition to revoking their licenses. In some cases that penalty is too drastic—it means the - down of a restaurant which must compete with one selling liquor. Put- ting & man completely out of business is a serious matter. That should be done only in extreme cases. A stiff fine sometimes would be sufficient to make a violator repentant. “From the economic standpoint, 342 15th St. S.E. You can't fool the women folks.
