THE COUNCIL approved the license by a 3-1 vote with Councilman Dennis Knoles casting the opposing vote. Councilman Kenneth Holman was absent. "1 don't see that we have any other choice but to approve the license." said Councilman Bob Arbuckle. "We have issued several other similar licenses in the recent past and I don't see how we could deny this one if we w anted to. There just isn't any reason for refusal." MAYOR GOLDEN Allen, who doesn't have a vote except ex-cept in the case of the tie vote of the council, also expressed his concern. "I hated to see it happen, but we have already opened the floodgate for beer licenses in the city." he said. "Now I wonder where it's going to stop." |
