Saloon Banned By Empire State Liquor Laws^
BuYtKTG
I/iquor,- NestTSAy
Consolation for dry losers in the recent, repeal fight is seen in the adoption of a stringent set of liquor regu
lations by New York State. The old saloon is definitely banned. Liquor may be served with meals or withou
meals in licensed restaurants, but the drinker must sit at a table—no more bars or brass rails or back rooms
Retail liquor stores may sell beverages for home consumption on a strict cash and carry basis, purchase
being limited to three quarts to a customer at one time. The regulations, framed by the State Alcoholic Bever
age Control Board under chairmanship of Edward P. Mulrooney, may serve as a model whereupon othe
States may create similar control laws.
