Regarding the request for this matter to be placed on the November ballot to do
away with beer and wine sales on Sunday, Chairman Troutman said he had learned from
the Board of Elections that this was not statutorily possible. Mr. Randall, county
attorney, explained in more detail the statutory position of the board in this re-
quest for an election. A letter of confirmation has been requested from the Attorney
General's Office regarding this opinion.

action becuase of the understanding that the referendum would not be legally binding.
The board goes not choose to legislate for the citizens of Iredell County their
choice of times for purchasing and selling beer and wine. We certainly don't choose
to do away with the sales seven days a week."
