A referendum for the sale of beer in the Town of Sylva will be held November 7 during the general election. The right to petition for the referendum was issued by the Jackson County Board of Elections on June 1 to' Dan Stephens of Sylva. About 300 of the 852 registered voters in the town signed the petition—171 signatures or 20 percent of the voters were needed to place the referendum on the ballot. The petition calls for "Off-Premises" sales of beer only. This would mean package store type operations with no on-premises consumption. Sources say the referendum's chances of passing are excellent and package store operations could be set up, as early as January. Only those persons who are registered voters in the Town of Sylva will be eligible to vote in the referendum and only those votes cast on November 7 will be counted. No absentee ballots will be allowed in the consideration of the beer referendum.
