City Liquor Case Will Not Be Appealed
The city of Roswell will not appeal District Judge Bryan G. Johnsons dismissal of its case against Adelina M. Gonzales for selling liquor without a city license. The judge ruled state liquor control licenses rest with the state, not municipalities, which could only levy a license tax. The council, advised by city attorney R. L. Malone Jr., doubted the supreme court would reverse, and discussed seeking state law changes. Gonzales operated a liquor establishment at 322 South Main under a state license after the city refused a city license last June. The city filed suit for selling without a city license. licensing fees and obligations were outlined.
