Beer License Transfer Up For Hearing
Hazardous traffic conditions at the site of a proposed beer license transfer in Point of Rocks were cited by objectors as a long hearing before County License Commissioner G. Cleveland Trout. A decision was held in abeyance. Residents filled the court room for the hearing over Mathew R. Kerrigan’s transfer to a new site near the Licksville and Adamstown roads, about 347 feet from a Lutheran church and 484 feet from a Methodist church. Objectors argued the location would attract the undesired element and endanger pedestrians including school buses and children, while supporters cited no greater hazards than current conditions. A petition with 140 names supported the transfer.
