COUNCIL CONSIDERS
 IMPORTANT ISSUES

t4hA 0ke AftAN k19A T-
 Necessitated by two important is- sues needing immediate attention, the Douglas City Council held a special session last night which was also attended by a number of the townspeople
 First issue taken mp was that of an earlier closing hour for the local liquor dispensaries in response to letter received from Gov Gruening of the Alaska War Com- cil After 8 general discussion par ticipated in by businessmen pres ent as well as members of the Council that brought out several factors of particular interest con- corning the situation in Douglas, il was decided to have a commit tee wait upon the Governor for a hearing on the premises Members of the committee are Mayor Hach- meister. Val Poor, Sante Degan of the Council and Marcus Jensen
 Second matter to receive atten- ton WAS the ultimatum of whether the bus service between Douglas and Juneau IS to be continued or rot. With the present management of the line about to depart for the States and leaving no one to take over, first option on the busses is offered the city, acceptance of which would mean continuance of the service; failure to take st least two busses will likely end the ser vice, it was brought out.
 The City Council, having no funds which may be legally divert ed to such purpose as buying buss- es or similar Investments without special election, has but one re- course, apparently, that of acting merely as a directing body and se- cure enough interest among the travelling public for securing sui ficient cash to mage the small pay ment asked by Mrs Beulah Lee for her interest Later if those par ticipating in the ownership wish to rehnquish their interest to the city hn election on the proposition could be held
 The Council decided to proceed in that direction and voted to have an appraisal made by capable but disinterested party under direction of the Public Properties Commit tee and in the meantime the regu- lar commuters are to be ceatRcted for whatever they may feel like investing until necessary ameYpt is raised to swing the deal. ssf
 1t was brought out that the bus fine to Juneau is self-susteining business and in the past always made money. For it's future much would hinge on the appraisal that is to be made and prospects for a growing sinking fund for,i repay- ments to stockholders.
