Frederick County Delegation Votes Against Drink-By-Drink Bill
Frederick County delegates voted 4 to 0 with one absentee and one abstaining not to introduce a bill allowing liquor by the drink in wet districts. The session involved tavern operators, attorney Richard E Zimmerman, and opponents including Mrs Hazel Lewis who pressed for a state wide Sunday beer ban. Supporters circulated some 1000 to 2000 cards urging passage, while local ministers and hotel groups opposed the plan and the debate focused on licensing and Sabbath observance.
