Mount Airy Liquor Vote Rumors Stir Controversy
Rumors of an ABC liquor vote in Mount Airy arise after a newspaper headline misleads readers. The Town Board previously authorized its attorney to seek General Assembly power to allow an ABC election after Sept 5 1962, despite the three year rule. The Sept 5 1950 vote against ABC stores remains a historic turnout. The upcoming Town Board meeting at City Hall will discuss actions amid expected public debate. Reverend Preston J. Taylor urged rescission of the action and commented on the dry forces backing the 1969 election.
