ORDINANCE FOR
 LIQUOR TRAFFIC
 UP IN COUNCIL
Makes No Provision for Closing Hours First
 Reading Is Given

Much of the predicted fireworks failed to materialiye last evening at the City Council meeting called to act upon the proposed ordi- nance to govern the liquor traffic in Juneau, which passed its first reading, two more being required for enactment.
 All of the available chairs were filled, and several people were forced to stand at the rear of the Council Chamber, but the crowd was largely composed of beer and liquor dealers. A small group in- terested in more stringent control was present but had little to say upon the various provisions of the ordinance.
 Three Reasons
 From the point of view of the City Council, three things were de- sirable. One was that if the City police were to be used in enforc- ing the Territorial rules and regu- lations, the City should derive any funds resulting from fines levied upon such violators as ap- peared. The second was that the plying of minors with intoxicat- ing beverages, or the giving of it to them in any quantity should be stopped The third part was to prevent the sale of liquor to habit ual drunkards or to persons not iceably under the influence of al cohol. These points are embodied in the ordinance quite fully.
 Principal sections of the ordi- nance as approved follows, with the exception of sections merely reenacting provisions of the Ter ritorial Liquor Board, definitions of terms, and provisions for pen- alties.
