CQUNCILMEN HEAR METERS PROPOSED
 AZ PARKING CURE
Tag Hanging Brings Com. pIaints from Business
 n-0rdindnte Plain

Parking meters as a proposed solution to Juneau's downtown street congestion. received a warm second from Mayor Ernest Parsons at last nights City Council meeting flor thA future.
 Smouldering resentment at the rigid enforcement that has lately been given the city's parking regu- lahons whipped into flame with the appearance at the session of a group of downtown merchants who have been in the habit of parking vehicles in front of their places of business and who recently have been handed overtime parking tags. All those who appeared claimed their businesses required that the vehicles be kept handy Lodging complaints were: Joe George, H. R. VanderLeest. Nick Rocoyich, Mar shall Erwin and w. P. Johnson.
 Groceryman George followed his contention that his firms delivery trucks cannot be loaded within the half-hour time limit by offering the parking meter answer as means of curtailing long period parking. Though immediately es- pousing the parking meter solu- tion. the mayor declared some other course is needed HOW, as the meters are not currently available.
 Increasing Congestion
 The mayor pointed out the prob lens presented by the increasing congestion of the streets, stating that. though he believes the present traffic ordinance is in need of revision, it is very plain in its terms and it's enforcement is the only present means for keeping traffic moving.
 After the council had heard all remarks on the matter forthcoming from last nights capacity audience, the traffic snarl was re- ferred to the councils police com mittee, along with an application by M. Isaacs for a loading zone at his South Franklin Street Cabinet Shop. Chief of Police John Mon agle reported other loading zone applications pending from the City Cleaners and the new 20th Century Super Market. The latter desires Seward Street zone at it's freight entrance, and it was suggested that such a zone be granted to replace

BROWN ANSWERS 10 REGULATIONS
 BEFORE COUNCIL

Local liquor store operator c. c. Brown appeared before the Juneau Common Council at it's meeting last night to defend himself against charges brought by the office of the U. s. Attorney accusing him of selling liquor without an appro- priate Territorial license.
 Brown is charged in the District Court here with the offense cited upon information filed by Acting District Attorney R. L. Tollefson, who has also entered objection with the Clerk of the District Court against renewal of Browns retail liquor store license within the City of Juneau. Similar objections have been entered by the District At torney to renewal f licenses held here by Jack Jadoff and F. M Kardanoff, who are under grand jury indictment for violation of liquor revenue regulations.
 The District Attorneys objec- tions had been put before the City Council by Clerk John Walmer in asking the city's cooperation in consideration of licenses for re- newal. In response to the clerk of the courts request, the next regular council meeting, Dec. 21, has been set for consideration of all renewal applications together
 MT. Brown declared his belief that he is the possessor of all the license needed for the transaction which has resulted in his accusa- tion. The charge against him is founded upon his alleged selling of liquor at Excursion Inlet to sol diers, at a time when he had carried a party of IT AWVS girls there from Juneau to attend dance
 He acknowledged to the council that he did take liquor to Ex- cursion Inlet at the time cited, but declared that he did so only to make deliveries on written orders placed with him. All Juneau liquor dealers ship out liquor on such orders, he claimed. He said he felt sure his license covers such trans actions. He continued, that on a previous trip to Excursion Inlet with a party of girls going there to attend a dance, he had been harrangued by several of the sol- diers for not bringing liquor
 Brown concluded by asserting emphatically that he had never engaged in any sort of bootlegging. In proof, he pointed out that had he been so inclined he could have sold liquor in quantities at can neries during the past summer when he had stocks of liquor on hand and a license, but no store yet opened in Juneau.
 No action was taken at last nights council session on the Brown case. Mayor Ernest Parsons stated that the council was glad to hear MT. Brown state his posi- ton. but that the consideration of licenses is not to come up until the next meeting, and that, any way, the court has first say in the matter.

Street improvements approved by the council last night were Water front filling along the Alaska Coastal Aarlines property on Will loughby Avenue, where sloughing away of the present rock fill threat ems the street paving, and construc- tion of a short flight of access steps on the upper side of Cast ineau Avenue.
 It was decided that the danger to Willoughby Avenue is too great to hold up filling for construction of Alaska Coastal's roposed new building.
 The streets committee was in- structed to investigate and report CD the need for a guard curbing next to the property Of Nell McClos key at Third and Gold Streets. The street grade there is higher than the sidewalk and Miss McCloskey petitioned for protection from ve- hicleS overrunning the sidewalk onto her grounds.
 Referred to City Attorney Howard D.

Mayor Parsons indicated action under the citys new sanitary or dinance should Rodebaugh persist in his refusal to unblock the walk. We might as well make it a test case" of the ordinance, the mayor
