Gallon Ruling
Druggist Who Obtained Al-
lottnients in "Wine
Meanure, Must Con
serve Their Store.
This: is a story of gallons.
Miil,i'li,-,n nireff.ir t" ' Rr.lirr.
An argument arose last week in
'Mr. Rohrer's office pertaining to gal
lons whether a permit to sell alco
hol meant by wine, gallons or , by
proof gallons.
Mr. Rohrcr queried Washington.
1 1 was a momentous question because
proof gallons cut the wine gallon al
most iii half when dealing yMi al
cohol which is ' 190 proof, he ex
plained. -
And here comes the sad part of
it. The answer to his query stated
that when not otherwise stated in the
permit, all alcohol should -be , dis
pensed per proof gallon.' . " . '
"Thus," to quote Mr.' Rohrer,
"many men in Nebraska now hold
ing, alcohol permits had best mind
their F's and Q's, because they se
cured the liquor under wine gallon
specific and under this ruling al-.
ready have their annual quota.
"They must conserve, or' they'll.
awake to the fact they can't get any
more alcohol this year, after they've
consumed their present stock."
