Vandergrift Faces Prohibition Fight Over Liquor License
In Vandergrift, Italian Union Mutius Benefit Society lawyers will file in Dauphin county to force the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board to show cause why the society's license, expired last January, should not be renewed. They contend dry property deeds rest with Vandergrift Land and Improvement Company and that withdrawal of the license after a year is confiscatory. If the dry regime endures, a $40,000 Sons of Italy investment could be wiped out, while a Hyde Park brewery nearby is advertised for sale with no bidders at recent auctions.
