Local Option Doubted in House Debate on Liquor Law
The constitutionality of local option faces attack in the House of Delegates this week as Delegate Ben B Butcher and others press arguments against the measure. House Judiciary Chair William M LaFon plans to speed the bill to first and second readings with amendments. In the Senate, Senator J Patrick Beacom intends to push administration bills out of committees for floor action. The debate centers on state sales monopoly and whether the amendment meets prohibition aims, with co sponsors Ralph M Hiner and Mysore.
