Enough Taverns Here, Board Says

Licensing Decision Is Effective Now

Marion County has its share of drinking spots, the County Liquor Board decided last night at an emergency meeting. “There are sufficient drinking outlets in Marion County,” Rohest 8. Smith, president declared, and added, “we don’t need

The board's decision, effective immediately, came only a few days after lifting of the statewide six-months’ moratorium on applicatiops for all types of THquor permits last Thursday. The boa said, was no idle whim or desire al liquor traffic in the county. It was based, he declared, on a point of law which provided for the issuance of one whisky pouring license for taverns and clubs for each 1000 residents. This figure, he said, is based on the last published federal census. “Marion County,” Mr. Smith said, “is authorized 387 threeway liquor licenses. This means these places are permitted to sell beer, wine and whisky.”

Expect Setup to Have

Quantity rather than quality today appeared likely to be the lot of Marion County Democrats in the patronage setup of the new state administration. The “big” patronage plums may be coming, said 11th District Chairman Paul MeDuff after a patronage meeting with state organization heads last night, but they haven't been offered yet. Local Democrats, of course, can expect the lion's share of minor statehouse jobs, he added, because low salaries make it impractical for persons living in other parts of the state to take them. At last night's meeting, state committee officials returned 200 job applications to the county organization for “more information.” State Chairman Ira Haymaker told the county Democrats their job applications must contain full data on qualifications and experiénce of applicants to insure! placement of the best qualified person in each statehouse job.

Of Truman Inauguration

Reservations Still Selling at $10 Top, But May Have fo Be Increased Later =.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24 (UP)—Inauguration planners said

today arrangements for President Truman's oath-taking Jan. 20 are running into more money than they thought. As a result they may have to raise their scale of prices—set earlier at $2.50 to $10—for seats to watch the inaugural parade. For the moment, reservations, accompanied by checks or cash,

will be accepted at the old price. A spokesman sald it may be necessary later to ask each purchaser for something extra. Thousands of reservations already have been received. Officials said people who want to see the parade sitting down had better get their checks in promptly. About 30,000 bleacher and : grandstand seats are to be erected along the mile-long route down Pennsylvania Ave. from the Capitol to the White House. Those who don’t want to pay can watch standing up. Officials look for 750,000 out-of-towners in the capital for part or all of Inauguration Week. Hotel bookings already are filling up fast. Thousands of persons are expected to live in. “Pullman cities” on Washington sidings. Others will stay in private homes. Officials previously had said they will spend about $150,000 on the inauguration festivities. Today they boosted the estimate to $200,000.

“Bad Sign” Of vital interest to the vourd,. Mr. Smith declared, is to keep, the sale of alcoholic beverages. opén and above board. But, he said, recent surveys by board investigators indicate a sharp decline in the volume of county retail liquor business. “This is a bad sign,” Mr. Smith said. When business slumps, he pointed out, tavern owners most generally look for a method of keeping in “the swim.” This, he added, usually means tavern keepers will resort to selling base-|

gal devices. No new permits will be issued, the board president said, at least until publication of the 1950 census. But this could be by an act of the 1949 legislature.

But although it only takes two minutes to reach Los Angeles—much of that time is used by the person placing the call.
