Bates Seeks Half of Boston Liquor Revenue
Governor Bates presses for half of liquor license receipts to fund the Commonwealth. A Ways and Means bill would divert $775,000 from Boston with state share rising from one quarter to one half. Last year the state share was $775,090.43. Bates seeks $1,660,180.86. A senator recalls pressure to support both license revenue and inheritance tax to justify appropriations.
