The Hot Springs Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board,
under fire from the State ABC
Board and scheduled to face a
public hearing in Asheville
next week, has resigned.
R. W. Ponder, chairman of
the three-member board that
supervises Madison County's
only liquor store, could not be
reached for comment, but the
mayor of Hot Springs verified
the resignations.
Mayor Joe R. Henderson
said he had received the
resignations of Ponder and
board member Clyde Hunt
singer. The third member of the
board, T. A. Russell, is in the
hospital, but will probably
tender his resignation shortly,
Henderson said.
Dr. L. C. Holshouser,
chairman of the state board,
had requested the resignation
of the Hot Springs board, but
the board had refused to step
down.
Holshouser told Ponder in a
letter May 1 that an in
vestigation in recent months
turned. up "many
discrepancies.. .which have
caused u to feel you and other
members of your board can no
longer be considered fit to
serve on the local board."
Salaries, travel and laundry
expenses, the lease on the
building in which the liquor
. store is located, disbursement
of store profits and general
accounting procedures of the
' Hot Springs board are among
specifics questioned by the
state board.
Holsheuser, in his letter to
Ponder last month, said if the
local board refused to resign,
' the state board would take its
demand to the mayor and
commissioners of the Town of
tHot Springs and tf they "then
' fail to order your removal, we
"shall be forced to order. -
