Last week the Eastland Citizens for Progress turned in a petition with over 400 signatures for a local option election to City Secretary Shirley Stuart.

If the city secretary verifies that at least 264 of the petitioners are valid signatures, the item will be placed on November's ballot for or against legal sale of beer and wine for off premises consumption only.

A second petition for or against the sale of beer, wine and mixed beverages in certified food and beverage certificate holders establishments has been gathering signatures and could still be turned in before the June 19 deadline.
