Vance Goes For Liquor Control By 2,483 To 545 Vote
Commissioners To
Make Early Choice
Os Control Board
Number of Applications on Hand for New Liquor Jobs;
Kittrell and Nutbush Townships Only Cases In Coun
ty Against Control; City Vote 1833-255
Bv a vote of 2,483 to 545. Vance
county decided for a county liquor
control system in the election last
Saturday' held for that specific pur
pose, according to complete hut un
official returns from the election as
compiled today. The Vance Board ol
County Commissioners, meeting in re
gular monthly session today, planned
to proceed with the naming of a li
quor control hoard for the ov-nnty.
whose duty itw ill he to select a man
ager for the county-operated store
and to select a location. and also to
ibe in charge of its operation.
There was no indication as to an
exact date when legal liquor will he
first sold under the new system for
the county, but it was guessed that
the preliminary arrangements could
be made certainly within two weeks.
While some talk had been heard
that dry forces might se°k to enjoin
the operation of the new stores, no
such action had b in n started today,
and there were no ’nd’ uitious that it
would be. The nearly five-to-ore ma
jority for control was thought to b;-?
so impressive as to the will of the
people that it might be sufficient to
dissuade any move toward tieing up
the procedure <by litigation
Meantime, it was understood a
large number of applications for va
rious appointments in connection with
the estaolishment of the new liquor
system were on filew ith the county
commissioners. The principal duty of
the commissioners will be the appoint
ment of a control board of three, the
chairman of which is to draw a salary
of SSO per month, and the other two
members to be paid $7 per day for
their services for as many days as
they may be required to assemble.
The unofficial returns showed that
only Kittrell and Nutfoush townships
voted against control. The majority
in Kittrell was 19 aaainst. in a vote of
115 for and 134 against. Nutbush.
which always casts the smallest vote
in the county, went solidly against
control, the entire twenty voters who
