Dwight decision to run for governor next year could prompt a greater than usual number of filings for the lieutenant post.

State Sen. Willard Waldo of Dc Witt, who has had his eye on the job for several years, filed for the office the same day Burney announced he would seek the chief post. Many Speculations Waldo, 51-year-old Republic- can and a farmer and livestock producer, is the only candidate to file so far. But several other possible candidates arc being mentioned in the light of decision to run for governor. included are State Sen.

Don Thompson of McCook, Marvin K. Stromer of Lincoln and Lincoln Atty. Cliarles Thone, all Republicans. Thompson reportedly is giving the lieutenant race serious consideration, but Stromer has indicated little interest in the post. Thone.

former state GOP chairman, has been mention 'd as a running mate with Burney. But both men have said they could not run as a ticket in the GOP primary. Other possible candidates, W'ho have run unsuccessfully in the past, include Democrats Pklward A. Dosek of Lincoln and PYank Sorrell of Syracuse, and Lincoln Republican Marvin Griswold. Past Holder Dosek has been active in Democratic circles for many years, as has Sorrell, who w'as fired from the State Liquor Commission by Gov.

Bottle Club Law Opens Up Liquor-by-the-Drink State Statute Kills Local Option I By LEO SCHERER The City of Lincoln for the first time in 44 years will have a limited, legalized form of liquor-by-the-drink after Aug.

1 as a result of wide legislation enacted by the just-adjourned Legisla- 'ture. Lincoln is not alone in this problem. West Lincoln and 400 other incorporated mnni- cipalities not among the 135 communities permitting liqnor-by-tho-drink at public bars under local option face the same regulatory problems. Approximately one-quarter of the estimated 112 bottle and non-profit clubs already serving liquor by the drink to their members are located in Lincoln. One estimate of total bottle club membership is 16.000.

In expanding the 6 types of alcoholic licenses, the Legislature in LB 21 expressly exempted the two new classes of bottle clubs and non-profit corporations from long-time state provisions for local community option on the question of liquor-by-the-drink. Thus the proposed city ordinance before the City Council on second reading Monday permits and regulates locally the legal purchase of liquor-by-the drink by members of bottle clubs and nonprofit corporations licensed bv the state. InUTslate 180 Access (jiveii Heavy Tryout Labor Men Meet Here (Yiiiinoii (ioals Di.sciiiisod Problems to Be Faced regulatory control problems face Lincoln and other communities which have not previously voted for liquor- by-the-drink under local option under new state wide legislation creating state bottle club and non-profit licenses? of licenses: State law sets no limits in contrast to present policy of limiting package liquor stores to 30, off-sale beer to 12 and beer taverns with on-and-off sale privileges to 41. of licenses: Slate law makes no mention of location, while Lincoln has a long-time defined policy of limiting tavern, off-sale and package licenses to the 30-block downtown area policed by footpatrolmen with one exception: Havelock, where licenses existed Ix'fore annexation by Lincoln. of operation: State law permits Sunday operation.

The proposed ordinance would permit Sunday Iwttle club opening. Co. Paul Douglas says he believes the city (or county in the case of bottle clubs outside city limits) could prohibit Sunday dispensing. State Liquor Commission Chairman Francis Robinson says he thinks a city Sunday prohibition is questionable under LB 21. Lincoln now prohibits the retail sale of beer or package liquor in any form on Sunday.

Sales on election day is prohibited both by state law under LB 21 and by pre.sont city ordinance. proposed ordinance would open clubs on Sunday at 6 a.m., one hour earlier than on week days. of operation: State prohibits operations from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. and permits opening from a.m.

to I a.m. the next day except a community may I kc them earlier. The proposed city ordinance on bottle clubs permits opening from 7 a.m. to 12:10 a.m. weekdays (same as the present city beer and a.m.

Sunday to 12:10 a.m. Alonday (present city Ix'or and package ordinance prohibits Sunday openings.) Premises: State law is silent on hours of remaining open after dispensing of alcohol is closed. Pre.sent Lincoln city ordinance on bt'er prohibits any bottles or containers ot any kind to be on the table after 12.10 a.m. and any person, including licensee and his employes, from consuming alcoholic liquor on premises from 12; 10 a.m. Lincoln Police Chief Carroll urges that clubs be required not only to stop sales at a given hour but also clear the premi.ses of patrons at that time.

-Occupation LB 21, a Ixjttle club or non-profit licensee pays no occupation tax. but in Lincoln a $200 state lieen.se fee. In addition under state law, any city can levy upon liquor licensee an occupation (ax not to exceed (iouble the amount of the state license fee. In tlie proposed city ordinance an occupation tax is specified, but the amount has Ix'cn left open by the Cit.N- Council and city officials for future determination. Under state law.

State Liquor Commission Chairman Francis Robinson says if a hotel or motel meets the qualifications of LB 21 there is no reason wliy it could not Ix' issued a state license. He asked if overnight registered guests could patronize.

Hobin.son i pointed to the law which says no membership is necessarv or if a membc'rship is u.sed, Robinson haid, how clubs establi.sli membership is up to the clubs Since LB 21 gives clubs th(' right to solicit or accept powers of attornev for the purchase of alcohol at retail for any a' separate power of attoriun document might give patrons the right to be dispensed alcoholic biweragc on the premi.ses. state law simiily says Ixittleclub operations may or may not l)o organized, having regular membership lists, dues, officers, and meetings. Chief Carroll is asking for a regulation whereby persons desiring to establish a would have file articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State and a requirement for a filing of an up to date membership list and a guest register. law gives state officials this right and is silent on local law right, but present Lincoln city ordinances gnve Lincoln police the authority to enforce both state and city liquor laws. LYder present city ordinances the building and fire inspectors also regulate the premi.ses of li- cen.sees.

reading and public hearing is set for 1:30 p.m. Aug. 5 at City Hall. The ordinance defining such clubs, their hours of operation, and the local city occupation tax of undetermined amount to be levied on state licensees is by state law not to be submitted to voters under the local option liquor- by-the drink laws. By the ordinance definition copied from state law in LB21 bottle clubs are limited to members, but membership lists, regular meetings, dues, officers and formal organization are not required of clubs.

Since Prohibition in 1919, persons in Lincoln have not had the legal right to buy liquor-by-the-drink at public bars. With the defeat of liquor-by-the-drink in Lincoln in 1946, the purchase of alcoholic beverages has been legally limited to beer by package or over the bar in taverns and to liquor by the package under state and city licenses. The post World War II phenomenon of bottle clubs evolved in private membership clubs from the legal right of an adult to either bring a liquor lx)ttle to the club or to buy one from it if it had a package license. In stages, service from this bottle evolved to locker systems storing the bottles with the individual's a or dispensing from pooled club-owned bottles by a ticket or cash chit. But the bottle legal glue, in addition to the generally statewide right to buy liiiuor by the package, was the individual's power of attorney to the club either to buy the bottle for him or serve him from that bottle.

Only a tew communities in the state such as Pawnee City have no alcoholic beverages i for sale, or no package liquor or beer in any form. Under LB 21, any member of a bottle club can by a er of attorney solicited or accepted by the club purchase alcoholic liquor or be dispensed beer without purchase formally organized as a club having regular membership list, dues, officers, and meeting or Under IJi 21, liquor in l)ot- tle clubs can be dispensed a locker system, Continued: 2B, Col. 4 Lincoln Gels Fast Mail Flan A BCD Bojiiiis riiursdav Fiiiid liierease Figured To Adjust Tax Lew bills passed by the 73rd Legislature will require $95,362,517 from the general fund, the state auditor's office has figured out.
