Federalsburg Bans Local Liquor Sales After March 7 1960
Federalsburg adopts an ordinance banning sale of alcoholic beverages other than beer effective March 7 1960. The move follows a January 4 1960 council meeting and ties to county lease decisions on the Federalsburg dispensary. The council had sought removal of the dispensary since 1958 but the county renewed its three year lease in 1959. The delay allows time to relocate the dispensary and to negotiate a new site.
