LIQUOR CLOSING. HOUR MAY BE SET
 AHEAD TO 2:30
Council Considering New Regulations in Keeping
 with New Liquor Law

Closing of liquor dispensing es- tablishments in Juneau will be 2:30 a. m. instead of a. m. as at pres ent if the new ordinance City Att torney Frank Foster was instructed to draw up by the City Council at its meeting last night is finally adopted by that body.
 With the new license year begin- ming July 1, the City Attorney brought to the attention of the Council the fact that the new Riv- CTS law leaves closing regulations entirely up to the city and that it was about time to give it consid- eration Councilman Henry Mes serschmidt reported that the police committee had decided that 2 O. clock was reasonable hour, but after discussion the City Council instructed the attorney to fix the four at 2:30 a. m. and when the or dinance comes up for reading it can be changed if they so desire.
 A new provision of the proposed ordinance will be that all appli- cants for license approval, which finally will be acted upon by the District Judge, must have paid all city and Territorial taxes before winning approval of the Council.
 The Council voted to donate $25 per month to the City Band on con- dition it give at least eight free concerts per year. but it denied the request of the Chamber of Com merce for $200 to aid with the Fourth of July celebration and other Chamber activities, the Councilmen holding they could not so spend the taxpayers money for Chamber activities.
 Suggestion was made by Chief of Police Dan Ralston that parking lots be fixed up around town to relieve congested traffic on downtown streets and he reported that several property owners already had offered vacant lots without cost for that purpose. Mayor Thomas Judson was instructed to see about getting the lots fixed up for the purpose.
 Dedication of a six-foot strip of land to the city for street purposes on South Seward between Front and Willoughby on the west side of the street by the R. J. Sommers Construction Company and Cen tral Properties was accepted by the Council. Eventually it is expected it will be necessary to widen Sew ard Street at that point
 First liquor license under the new law from the Elks Club was ap- proved by the Council and now goes to the Federal Court for final dis position An ordinance to move ahead one week time for closing tax assessment work, meeting of the Board of Equalization in order to facilitate work in the Clerks office was passed in first reading.
 No action was taken on the ques- tion of appointing radio inspec- tor, pending further study. In the meantime, Inspector Bill Hixson is continuing the work.
