A discussion was held between the City Council and Gene Gaines, Attorney for the
Elks Club. Al. derman~:Almon requested the reading of the letter from W. Z. Fairbanks, Jr.
to Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, dated November 22, 1977. The letter is as
follows:
RE-: Hi. Plains Elks Lodge - No. 1676
Dear Sirs:
This office would oppose anything that would allow the Hi Plains Elks Lo~ge No.
1676 to continue operating at 811 Broadway, Plainview, Hale County, Texas.
This office has received numerous complaints concerning the management and
operations and behavior of its members. While we have had problems~obtaining
witnesses, we have verification that the club has sold alcoEolic beverages
to non-members and has allowed persons to remove alcoholic beverages from the
premises, In addition, we have received numerous compliants about finding
vomit, blood and other items on the sidewalk by said club, which to us indicates
that, contrary to regulations, this club continues to sell alcoholic beverages
to persons who have reached an intoxicated state. Further, we would point out
that there have been numerous reports of disturbing the peace, of fights, which
generally make this a very undesirable location for this club.
We would further point out that this club is across the street from a theater
where our children attend and where, on occasion, there have been remaYks and
actions that would cause us to be concerned for their safety and welfare.
For all of the above reasons we respectfully request that a Private Club
Exemption Certificate Permit under the Veterans and Fraternal Laws be denied
and if at all possible their Private Permit be terminated at this location.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ W. Z~ Fairbanks, Jr.
County Attorney
Hale County, Texas
