Kingsport May Deliberate Beer Sale Under Existing Ordinance
Local officials weighed whether Kingsport can legalize beer sales under current law. City Attorney Harry L. Garrett said the present ordinance bans spirituous and malt liquors above 0.5 percent, and a new or amended ordinance would be needed for local sale. Aldermen voiced mixed views, with some against liquor, others open to testing 3.2 percent beer. State guidance from Beeler hinted federal 3.2 percent standard could apply in Tennessee.
