Concord. The House Appropriations Committee will propose that New Hampshire’s 340 clubs and hotels with liquor licenses cover the cost of a one million dollar Korean veterans bonus. Rep. W Douglas Scamman said reducing the wholesale discount on liquor from 10 to 5 percent would bring in about 370000 a year to finance the bond over 20 years. The amended bonus bill sails to be reported next Wednesday. The measure would grant a 100 bonus to veterans who served during the Korean conflict. Meanwhile the Senate passed a bill to double the Fish and Game Commission to 11 members after seven votes. Perkins cast the deciding vote in favor, with term limits for the director debated.
