City Commissioner Ed Carlile will initiate discussion about steps required to call an election for voters to decide if liquor-by-the-drink should be allowed within Marshall city limits tonight at the city commission's regular meeting.

It is a measure Carlile said may make things a little easier on business owners, and further discussion will take place at the meeting at 6:30 p.m. in Room 201 of City Hall.

"This is not an attempt to get more alcohol in Marshall or have a club on every corner," Carlile said Wednesday.
