Cormick, and reelected Councilmen
Ralph Beistline and Oscar Harri,
we're sworn in last night and a
short business meeting of the City
Council followed, during which Ii
uuor dispensers asked for a new
ordinance regulating their operating
hours.
A petition was read by Attorney
Norman Banfield, representing sew
en- of eight licensed liquor dealers
in Juneau requesting a change in
the present city ordinance number
239. which places restrictions on
beer parlors and liquor stores alike.
The petition asks the city for an
ordinance with hours for liquor
stores of from pm. to pm. on
Sundays and holidays; 10 am. to
IL pm. on all days preceding Sun
days or holidays, and 10 am. to
10 pm. all other days.

signers of the petition, that the
new ordinance would permit liquor
stores to comply more faithfully
with Territorial laws and city ordi-
nances. especially with regard to
the sale OF liquor to minors and
persons under the influence OF
liquor.
A request was made for city CO.
operation in curbing sale OF boot
leg liquor during closed hours, al

nance were tabled for further dis
cussion at next Fridays meeting
