Commission rejects Partee's appeal in Quincy liquor case
CHICAGO. Cecil Partee, commissioner of the Chicago Department of Human Services, told the state Liquor Control Commission that Quincy had harassed John M. Hammond for alleged picayune violations. Hammond, who owns the tavern buildings but denies any business interest, cannot hold a license due to a felony record. Partee sought a direct verdict voiding revocations of the taverns’ licenses, but the commission did not grant it.
