State liquor fund inadequacy to cost revenue
E. J. Becker, state liquor supervisor, charged that a penny wise, pound foolish attitude by the 58th General Assembly toward a liquor department appropriation threatens to cost the state 1,500,600 in liquor revenue over the next two years. He warned the present setup is inadequate as he travels to Cleveland to confer with federal alcohol control chief Joseph Choate. Becker said the department requested 531,000 for the biennium but received 406,000, and a 125,000 cut may prevent collecting about 1.5 million. He noted 22 inspectors in the field, two thirds in large centers, and said more inspectors would boost revenue and combat evasion. He cited over 5,000 3.2 percent beer licenses issued, later deemed invalid, requiring new permits. He described plans to print a digest of liquor rules and enforce new laws, while acknowledging concerns over some provisions. He and Chief Clerk W. H. Bouchard hope to implement the laws, with injunctions against nuisances as a potential enforcement tool.
