ABC Board Sees
Conflict Of
Interest
The newly reorganized Hot
Springs Board was told
Monday that an "intolerable
conflict of interest" still exists
within the liquor store
operation.
And the State ABC Board
noted that net revenues from
the liquor store in Madison
County are among the lowest
in the state It was suggested
that this could be improved by
scaling down the salaries of
the store's two employes the
supervisor and a clerk
The state board, however,
seemed satisfied that the May
2, reorganization of the Hot
Springs ABC Board lias
resolved a conflict of interest
in connection with its lease on
a building it uses for a store
and a warehouse
The state board told H W
Ponder, ttie new Hot Springs
ABC Board chairman, and his
legal counsel, Sen I.amar
Gudger of AsheviUe, that it
wants a report in 30 days on
the status of the two liquoi
store employes, their salaries
and their brother who is now a
member of tlie Hot Springs
Board of Aldermen
Members of the ABC board
are appointed by the town
boaixi of aldermen, and the
state board views the situation
of the three Anderson brothers
as a conflict of interest
"Somebody has got to go,"
Marcus Hickman of Charlotte,
a member of the State ABC
Board, said Monday
C K Anderson and Kred
Anderson are supervisor and
clerk of the Hot Springs, liquor
.-.U - r; pctivf ') , and their
brother, Harold Anderson, is a
member of the town board of
aldermen
Each of the two liquor store
employes is paid an annual
salary of $10,200
Hickman said that is more
than employes of the
Mecklenburg County ABC
system are paid, where a
large percentage of the stale's
liquor is sold
George Coxhead, a membei
of the State ABC Board, said
he is concerned that net
revenues from the Hot Springs
AW system come to only li 2S
per cent of the total sold
From July 1, 1971, to June
