I am researching the status of my home town (Bovina) as a dry town.  
Specifically, I'm curious what happened after the repeal of Prohibition

in 1933?  Did towns in NY have to take steps to become 'wet' or 'dry',

or was it one or the other automatically?  Any suggestions as to where

to look would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
