Republicans plan board of excise in city liquor licenses reform
A Republican leader says plans advance to set up an excise commission with full power over liquor licenses and a single headed police supervision commission. They argue the current three member police board is too much and fear of liquor dealers and police alike would ease under separate control. Former Police Board member Charles P. Curtis is named as a likely excise commission chair if Legislature alters the system.
