About this Item

Pamphlet (5 1/4" x 8 3/8"), stitched as issued. 10, [2]pp. Original tan-colored, printed paper wrappers. In an effort to regulate alcohol, the Maine legislature passed an act that would require local liquor "manufacturers" to post a $1,000 bond. Retailers would be required to post a $400 bond. The act also gave local towns, cities and plantations powers to limit the number of liquor retailers in their areas. There were exceptions, however, relating to medications and to alcohol imported from abroad.
