States Attorney Warns On Liquor Shipments Rules
States Attorney Owens has issued a letter to county press agents clarifying liquor shipment limits. A quart of liquor or a cask of beer per shipment is the maximum, with a reasonable interval between shipments. He warned that shipments outside these limits could hold the company responsible, prompting questions on what constitutes a reasonable interval and whether a single weekly drink per shipper is allowed. The move shifts responsibility to the company and may reduce shipments.
