At the end of last week Only one person picked up an application for a permit and he not yet returned it to be filed. Barton explained that the Steps to getting a permit to sell Beer and wine begin with picking up an application at the clerk s office filling it in and returning it to the clerk. The clerk is then responsible for posting a notice and publishing another notice stating that application has been made for a License. After two weeks a hearing is held by a county judge who must weigh any objections to the application before he approves or rejects it. Of the judge approves the application he signs it and sends it along its Way to the liquor control Board lab in Austin. The lab then processes the application the applicant pays the fee for the License and then approximately three weeks after the first step the applicant is a Licensee and is free to purvey his under the spreading Oaks of the Honky b ranch we a the the Al tonight s agriculture Taw Barbecue.

He cited new Industry As the basis for his projection and added that builders could be expected to put up a few houses on speculation since As Many As one Hundred new jobs May be opening up in the near future.
