City Council Cracks Down on Taverns
The city council Monday night moved to limit tavern numbers by population, revoking Coconut Grove Class B beer permit of Darrell Anderson and suspending Irwin Johnson's Class B permit for 30 days. Johnson allegedly sold beer to minors. A public party at Coconut Grove on Nov. 16 prompted action. The council, awaiting the city attorney's input, debated a proposed ordinance to cap Class B permits and require five per 2000 population, with existing large permits excluded by state law.
