Mayor Recall Signs Pop Up a Off Knoxville KNOXVILLE (UPI) -Signs are popping up around Knoxville urging the recall of Mayor Randy Tyree, and a committee to recall the mayor has been circulating petitions to get the needed signatures Tor such an election. The last recall election in Knoxville occured in 1954 when Mayor George Dempster decided not to fight candidates in the recall election. IN 1946, a recall move succeeded in ousting Mayor Cas Walker.

The millionaire grocer was a member of City Council and mayor under a city manager type of government.

Judge Sam Boaz granted a request yesterday for a temporary injunction against the city's threat to block the opemng of a new liquor store authorized by the Alcoholic Beverage Commission Tuesday. Tom Meeks, an attorney for Karen Meeks, his sister-in-law, said the injunction will allow for opening of Mrs. Meeks' liquor store at 320 College despite the city's threat of legal action.

MAYOR CHARLES Crow and City Attorney Frank Runyon had said following the action-allowing seven new liquor licenses here that the city would seek its own injunction blocking the stores from opening. A Clarksville ordinance limits the number of retail outlets to the present six.the city officials con7 tend the ABC has no right to authorize additional stores. Crow, a registered lobbyist for the Tennessee Muncipal League, said he was considering seeking the injunction in order to delay the opening until a more permanent change in liquor licensing procedures could be sought through the General Assembly. However, the injunction granted by Boaz on behalf of Mrs. Meeks yesterday has beaten Crow to the punch at least temporarily.

"YOU by commanded to desist from making an application in any court in the state of Tennessee for an injunction enjoining the Alcoholic Beverage Commission from granting Karen Meeks a license to open her retail liquor store in the city of Clarksville," the order states. Meeks said yesterday he told Boaz, Montgomery County Law and Equity Court judge, that Mrs. Meeks would suffer irreparable monetary damages if the store were blocked from opening on schedule. "The building has been leased already, he said. A HEARING on whether a permanent injunction should be granted has been setfor Jan.
