SANDALL SAYS: 'PUBLIC HEARINGS MUST BE HELD ON BEER LICENSE APPLICATIONS Nebraska law wisely provides that before any application for a beer license is approved or rejected, local city coun cils must hold public hearing following published notice thereof. The law-abiding beer retailer has no fear of the hearing. The good retailer and the alert citizen welcome this method of preventing the unfit from gaining a beer license, or of keeping it when the record is bad. This Committee urges care and cooperation by the public and the officials in issuance of beer licenses. NEBRASKA COMMITTEE U. S. BREWERS FOUNDATION CHARLES E.
