Liquor Laws and Local Option Debated in State Meeting
A liquor association panel urged revising local option provisions in the state liquor law. They noted Sunday consumption was once allowed under old rules and clubs and conventions used to host alcoholic events. With the state now wet, they argued counties may remain dry only where residents vote, while minorities in dry areas deserve privileges and potential township licenses.
