time, the Ambassador representing
the King of the Belgians at the
Court of St. James'S and Mr.. Ster-

SPECIAL COUNCIL
 MEET 10 DECIDE
 LIQUOR CL0SINGS

Council action on extending clos ing hours for liquor stores and bars, petitioned for by IA operators of such establishments in the City, was again put over by Juneau's Council men at their meeting last evening.
 The petitioners ask 3 o'clock a. m. closing time on Sunday, Z o'clock a. m. on week days.
 At it's last regular meeting, the Council had decided to confer with the petitioners before taking action in the matter, but somehow, during the rush of ironing out the tax situation, that get-together had been overlooked.
 With the Councilmen apparently unwilling to act on the petition last night, Mayor Ernest Parsons de- cided the best way out would be to call a special Council meeting, at which bot hpetitioners and citizens opposing the later closing could be heard.
 Accordingly, the Mayor set next Friday evening for the special meet
