The citizens of Daingerfield will decide whether or not the city of Daingerfield goes wet this year. The issue of beer and wine sales will be decided at the ballot box in the November election. The Daingerfield City Council unanimously approved an ordinance ordering a special election in November on the local option to legalize the sale of beer and wine for off-premise consumption only. This action was taken at the council’s Aug. 12 meeting.  
City Secretary Heide Edmonson said she had received a petition from Texas Petition Strategies that contained at least 185 valid signatures from the registered voters of the city of Daingerfield which meets the requirements of the Texas Election Code 501.031.
Daingerfield residents may expect a slight increase in their garbage rates. The council approved the 1.7 percent increase requested by Allied Waste Services for solid waste collection and disposal. The increase will be $.16; residential garbage rates were $11.11 and will go to $11.27.
