REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE TREASURY

STATEMENT "GG"

July 1st. 1944

HONORABLE J. MILLARD TAWES,
Comptroller of the Treasury,
Annapolis, Maryland
Honorable Sir.—

We herewith submit a report of cases heard and decisions rendered by the State License Bureau
under the Alcoholic Beverages Law for the fiscal year beginning July 1st, 1943 and ending June 30th,
1944.

The following changes in the Alcoholic Beverages Laws of Maryland were made by the Legislature
of 1948.

Section 68 of Chapter 714 (Acts of the General Assembly of Maryland 1943—effective June 1st,
1948) provides for appeals from Boards of License Commissioners, and from the State License Bureau
in Counties where the Bureau acts as the Board of Heanng Officers to the Circuit Court. Chapter 714
exempt! Dorchester and Prince George's Counties from appeals to the Court, which means that ap-
peals from the decisions of the Boards of License Commissioners in these two Counties would be to
the State License Bureau, whose decision is final

In Charles, Queen Anne's, Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester Counties, the State License Bureau
acts as a Board of Heanng Officers, their decision being subject to appeal to the Circuit Courts of
these Counties.
