UP IN NORTHERN INDIANA, the new Stout liquor law passed by the 1941 Legislature and effective May 1, already is causing trouble. Lake County attorneys have found that the new law, in addition to giving that county an extra hour on the closing time for taverns, also gives it a special local hoard setup. As originally interpreted, local boards were to include four mem-
bers—one each to be named by the county commissioners, mayor of the largest city, the county council and the State Board. And each board must be bi-partisan, two Republicans and two Democrats. But a special provision for “all counties with two or more cities of 10,000 or more population” has been uncovered, and that means Lake and St. Joseph Counties only. In these, the mayor of each city of more than 10,000 is to appoint a boari member to attend sessions on liquor license applications originating within that community's corporate limits, Nn
Could Be lllegal 3 to |
THAT'S where the trouble begins, so far as Lake County is concerned. For it's generally agreed that the appointees of the commissioners and council will be Democrats, while those of the largest city's (Gary) mayor and the State Commission will be Republicans., E. L. Shaible, Republican, is the Gary Mayor. The same would be true in Whiting, where James T. McNamara would appoint a fellow Republican. In two other Lake County cities, however, there are Democratic mayors—Frank R. Martin of Hammond and Frank Migas of East Chicago. If they were to appoint Democratic representatives, and the Democratic council and commissioners do the same, it would give that party an illegal three-to-one advantage when the local board met to consider licenses in these cities.
A suggestion has been made that the county commissioners and State Commission might make alternate appointments from both parties to keep the board balanced at all times. But there's the question of legality in such a move, Lake County officials are ready to put the whole problem in the hands of State officials for solution,
