Liquor license request denied for Tot's 144 Tavern near Mt. Airy
Frederick County Liquor Commissioner Elus G. Carty denied Mehri L. Hobbs a 1500 license to sell mixed drinks at Tot's 144 Tavern on Rt. 1 Mt. Airy, citing insufficient assessed valuation. The tavern retains beer and wine sales. A separate transfer of a Class B license for Half Way House to John Lauder was approved pending state bulk transfer clearance. The Maryland Court of Appeals affirmed custody for Allie, a seven year old linked to the Wakefields, ruling tribal and federal law limit state intervention in Indian affairs. The boy had lived with the Wakefields since 1972 after his father's death and his mother’s injuries.
