On Premises Beer
To Become Legal
In Canton luly 1
Board Approves
Measure Monday
After Complaints Of ;
Businessmen
Effective July I, beer drinking
within the place of purchase again
becomes legal in Canton, accord-'
ing to official action taken Monday
night by members of the hoard of
aldermen.
Drinking of beer "on premises"
was prohibited here some time ago
by action of the town board when
only "off premises" sales were per-,
mitted. The action taken Monday
night throws open the doors to
persons who caiv to drink their
beer openly and legally within the
plaee of purchase.
Prompted by complaints of sever
al Canton business men, who said
empty bottles were left by beer
I drinkers in their places ot business
and that caps from the bottles had
done considerable damage to their
plumbing equipment, board mem
bers granted "on premises" license
to local taverns in an effort to re
lieve the general situation. Un
able to drink beer within the lo
cal taverns, customers would enter
the nearest business establishment
where they would leave their emp
ty bottles and caps which created
a general nuisance, it was learned.
This action by the board was
taken on motion of Alderman Paul
D. DeWeese and seconded by Al
derman Lloyd Sellers.
