I, Lloyd L. Simpkins, Secretary of State of the State of

Do Hereby Certify, that at the General Election held in the State of

Hotels and Restaurants, Beer, Wine and Liquor Licenses in
Montgomery County to restaurant owners located in third,
fourth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth or thirteenth election
districts, except Poolesville, Kensington and Takoma Park
subject to the requirement that gross receipts from food sales
shall be more than twice the gross receipts from the sale of
alcoholic beverages during a twelve month license period and
to provide that the license holder shall sell alcoholic beverages
for consumption on the premises only, that no alcoholic
beverages shall be served at any bar, counter, cocktail lounge
or other room but only in the dining rooms which must have

conditions under which said licenses shall be issued and fur-
ther to provide for a referendum on this Act.

and I DO certify that at said election 70,300 votes were cast
