TO THE MEMBERS OF COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SMYRNA
Gentlemen, on Monday evening you voted 3 to 2 not to issue beer license for
1951.
You heretofore have adopted a budget, based on the Cityts receiving some $6,000.
from beer license and tax, if this item now is eliminated from our estimated
income, and is not replaced from other sources, and no reduction is made in
our estimated expenses, we now, immediately, are operating the City of Smyrna
in the "Feed" and we will show'a deficit for 1951.
You have indicated that you do not wish to curtail any of the services our
City now is rendering our taxpayers and citizens — neither do I.
You have indicated that you do not wish to increase the costs of those services
by raising taxes, sanitary fee, or license — neither do I.
I feel that we can say.the voters have gone on record as approving the manner
in which we operated the'City for 1950.
Our refus,9l to issue beer license will not eliminate the sale of beer in our
community since it is legal in the County. There are places in operation now
near our City limits. If we prohibit the sale of beer in Smyrna, it is only
reasonablt.to believe that other places will be opened just out —side our
limits. The two places in Smyrna that have been selling beer are orderly and
well regulated. Our Police Department would have no regulation over undesir—
able "joints" that undoubtedly would begin to operate immediately just out of
our jurisdiction, yet we would feel the results from the people leaving such

places, — many of whom undoubtedly would be in no condition to drive a
car safely on our streets. It would be difficult for our County Officers to
properly regulate these out—of—the—way places.
.I would whole heartedly approve your action if it would eliminate the sale of
beer in our community. Since it would not accomplish this; and would undoubt—
edly create a foul situation in our community — harmful to our young people;
and the loss of the revenue would throw our budget out of balance I feel it
to be to the best interest of the City and our citizens that I veto the action
taken by the City Council in voting to not issue beer license for 1951• I
hereby veto that action this 17 day of January, 1951•
