By annexing to Carbondale the store may be able to obtain a liquor license much easier than by way of two other alternatives. Alternatives Alternatives would be to bring about an election in the township to change the "dry" status, or to incorporate the area as a village or city. Miller said he and store officials "are in negotiations and have been for several months" on the subject of annexation. "They haven't said up to now that they want a liquor license," he said. "There hasn't been much talk about it.

The door hasn't been opened and it hasn't been closed." Miller said he has "no doubt" Sav-Mart will request a liquor license at a later date. Corp. Counsel J. Edward Helton said the store, if it is annexed and seeks to sell liquor, would have to petition the city for a change in its "dry" status. "Annexation doesn't cure the wet-dry issue," Helton said.

Legal Steps He said the petition would be held over for 30 days, during which objections on legal grounds could be made by persons living near the store. At the end of the 30 days, if all legal provisions have been met, the 40-acre Sav-M art site would be declared "wet." A request for a liquor license would then have to be made 'o the City Council. The council would have to decide whether to increase the number ot Class A licenses from nine to 10 or to permit Class licenses. Class A licenses permit the sale of liquor in any form. Nine are now permitted and all nine have been issued.

No provision is made in the city's ordinance for Class licenses, for package liquor only. Helton said the Sav Mart property would also have to obtain a zoning classification which permits the sale of 1: v-or. B-4, the suburban business zone, allows the sale of liquor. By Erik Stottrup Of The Southern Illinoisan Carbondale intends to annex Rt. 13 east to the Williamson County line and the new Sav-Mart store.

Petitions for the annexations hae been prepared and are being reviewed by owners of the Sav-Mart store, according to city officials. Mayor D. Blaney Miller said store officials have decided to seek annexation to the city, because it would mean a reduction in their fire insurance rates and would provide them with city police protection. The benefits to Carbondale, in terms of property and sales taxes, "would be Miller said. He declined to estimate the revenue.

The Sav-Mart developers own a total of some 40 acres around the store. In addition to the store, a supermarket and indoor theater will be started within 30 days and a service station will be started immediately. Kroger Co. is expected to operate the supermarket. Annexation of Rt.

13 must be completed before the Sav-Mart property can be annexed. Annexation of the highway right of way will make the store contiguous to the corporate limits of Carbondale. The city is permitted by state statute to annex highways or public roads which are contiguous to it. Annexation of Sav-Mart also will open the way for the store to gain permission to sell liquor. There has been speculation package liquor would be sold at the store.

A cocktail lounge was one of the items included in the plans when they were originally announced last year. However, store officials have since said they do not plan to offer liquor for sale wiien the store opens Thursday. The officials declined to say what specific future plans for package liquor sales might be.
