And it is important to every citizen that this licensed privilege not be abused. To safeguard this privilege, the Nebraska Brew ers arjd Beer Distributors Committee employs a field representative to make reports on the operation of retail beer outlets. These reports show that the great majority of establishments are operated in the public interest. Only a few abuse their licenses, thereby jeopardizing the state's annual tax revenue of approximately $500,000 and the nearly $2,000,000 in Nebraska wages derived from the manufacture and sale of beer every year. The brewing industry will continue to co operate with the legal authorities to weed out these few and thus keep beer retailing as wholesome as beer itself.
