State solons draft bill against beer in Tennessee
Tennessee lawmakers debate beer control as Sen N H Eubank proposes county wide popular votes on beer sales with a ten percent petition trigger. The measure would amend the 1933 act to five percent and distribute tax revenue differently, with counties and municipalities losing shares if beer is banned. The Senate also schedules Browning’s inauguration canvass and considers poll tax repeal moves. Verner M Jones, longtime legislator and Vanderbilt alumnus, dies at about 45.
