Liquor Election Fanned by Richardson Local Option Drive
Richardson faces an all-out battle over a local option election to turn the city wet. The Freedom of Choice Committee, led by former council member Mrs. Edward B. Hurt, seeks 6,609 certified signatures within 30 days to place the issue on the November ballot, while dry opponents vow to contest. City officials say the liquor ordinance aims to curb on-premise sales and does not commit the council to a stance.
