Postmasters Plan Open Meeting in Sidney Next Monday
State postmasters will meet in Sidney for the 27th annual convention with Pratt of Tobias predicting at least 200 attendees and many bringing wives for a business trip and vacation. Local host W L Larson expects ample accommodations and early preparations, with many visitors arriving Sunday for the event. The Sidney liquor ordinance, published today, allows legal liquor with no licensing yet granted, as the council lets stores compete rather than grant licenses, saying Sidney cannot support many stores. Mayor Roche notes the situation hinges on applicants, and the council has addressed liquor rules for the first time since prohibition.
