ABC Board Won't Buy Liquor Now The V'iincc Counly ABC Board re fused to contract for a year's supply of whisky because it was unwilling to pay the American Distilling Com pany a deposit of ten dollars per case in advance of deliveries, Chair man George A. Rose, Sr., of the board, said today. Mr. Rose said the board had discussed the distillers offer with the county commissioners, and there was general agreement not to go into the arrangement. According to the State AUC Board, Vance was the only one of the 25 li quor counties in the State which re fused to enter Jnto the contract, ami officials of the State board are now in Chicago arranging tor the deal. The contract was approved by the State attorney general. Although a dc|x>sit of ten dollars a case would be required by the American Distilling Company, de-1 liveries would be made only on or der and at intervals during the yeai. ' Mr. Hose said Vance counly would , have been required to contract forj 6,0(10 cases, and at $10 that would have amounted to $00,000 that would have been deposited with the com pany. He said he and the board could see no reason for any such ar rangement. The local board, he ad ded, is getting all the liquor it wants and is finding no difficulty in keep ing up its stocks. Signing of a contract for 170,000 cases for the Stale board would not have affected Hie present rationing ■system, it is said. During July sales in the 25 wet counties were report ed in the aggregate of less than 27, ooo cases, compared with 55,000 in July. 1942, according to the State hoard.
