More Liquor Permits Ohio Population Shifts
Ohio State Liquor Control Director William C Bryant talks with Census Bureau officials in Washington about using 1956 population data for liquor permit quotas. The department’s hold on hard liquor permits followed a Ohio Supreme Court ruling that the 1940 census was inadequate for current needs. If a full 1956 census were used, permits could rise, potentially nearly doubling. The current rule limits permits to one per 2000 people, or in larger cities, one per 1500 residents.
