Prohibitionists Target Bars With Low Food Sales
In Sacramento the Prohibition party of California urged closing any cocktail bar where food sales are under 51 percent of business. Party treasurer Wesley Edwards cited a Sacramento court ruling overturning a board of equalization decision on a liquor license with 20 percent food sales. Board members Bonelli and Quinn announced licenses would be revoked for establishments below 50 percent food business to pursue a possible Supreme Court interpretation of bona fide restaurant status. The party also reconstituted its leadership with Edwards as treasurer and Rosendahl advancing to chair, replacing Garr and elevating Price to vice-chairman.
