The United at Democrats Would Give State Group Full Power Mulroonev Favors It Ragle Bureatt, Capilel Bnllding. Albany, Nov. 19 Democratic leaders are preparing to write an obituary for a large part of New York State's year-old liquor control law at the 1935 session of the Legislature. They intend to concentrate their fire on the section requiring separate control boards in each county, in addition to the State commission.

Abolition of the county boards will be demanded. When the law was drafted last Winter Republican legislative leaders insisted upon the county boards. fearful that the Democrats would obtain too much patronage if all the control were placed in the hands of a State commission appointed by the Governor. Edward P. Mulrooney, chairman of the State Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission, is said to favor centralization of authority in the hands of the State body.

System Expensive The Democrats contend that the county board system has been ex pensive and unnecessary, pointing out that the local boards lack real authority because licenses are fin' ally issued by the State board. which also acts on appeals from rejections by local boards. They argue that a division of responsibil ity Is caused by placing the invest! gation of would-be licensees in county hands. Present plans are to continue the five-member State commission and to appoint deputies in each county to make investigations and receive applications for liceises. Some of the Democrats would restore the old excise system with a single com missioner, but Chairman Mulrooney is said to favor the five-member body.

Reduced Fees Under the existing law each county board has two members, except New "York City, which has four. Some legislators will urge lower license fees and removal of the re striction limiting the number of liquor stores in a given area. Reduced fees, it is argued, will strike a blow at the bootleggers by per mitting the sale of less expensive legal liquor.
