CARRYING LIQUOR
 IN TAXES IS ISSUE
 AT COUNCIL MEET

Juneau City Council held its first regular session in three weeks at the City Hall last evening, high lighted by spirited discussion concerning a suggested ordinance to prohibit the transportation or delivery of liquor in taXicabs.
 Councilman Burr Johnson moved that the ordinance be prepared by the City Attorney in an effort to halt particularly liquor deliveries by taxicabs to residences, and the providing of drinks for taXicab passengers.
 Councilman Edward s. Nielsen further proposed that the ordi- nance specifically prohibit a cab driver from carrying a personal bottle in his car or on his person while on duty.
 A proposal that the ordinance prohitit any transportation of in- toxicating, alcoholic beverages in taMcabs, even by passengers, brought objection on the grounds that such a law would be inn possible of enforcement.
 City Attorney Howard Stabler will draw up the tentative ordi- nance for presentation at the next Council meeting, with the possible addition of a prohibition of drink ing in cabs if investigation shows Hz.- 1+ is not already sufficiently cover ed
 Hello Rate Changes
 After is presentation to the Council from Attorney Norman Banfield, for Juneau-Douglas Tele- phone Company, a resolution amending the present installation charge schedules in the telephone rate ordinance was given its first reading.
 The changes provide that for in- stallation of new telephone where the building or residence is already fully wired, the charge shall be not more than the actual cost of labor, material and services, but not less than Sl. For new telephones where wir- ing in the building or residence is not fully completed there will be a $350 minimum charge.
 A minimum charge of Sl.5O will te made for moving a tele- phone inside a building, and for an outside move from one building to another or from one part of the city to another, S250 will be the minimum charge
 PrCpe ty Transfers
 First reading also was made ot another ordinance. Of minor na- ture, it provides for the transfer ence of two small pieces of prop erty to the Alaska-Juneau Mine.
 The tracts were previously trans ferred as part of combined trade and sale in 1942 for sidewalk con- struction, but no legalizing ordin- ance was passed at the time. This action will correct the error.
 Juneau Transit System was granted request to extend it's service beyong Twelfth and E streets along Behrends Avenue to reach the Highlands Drive addi- tion outside the City Limites, and return on Glacier Highway
 The additional run for the City bus. it is estimated will take but three minutes, and will not neces- sitate any change in the existing schedule.
 New Fire Protection
 The Fire Committee of the Coun- cil was authorized to make tenn porary agreements with Northern Commercial Company Standard Oil and Union Oil Companies for fire protection of their properties outside the City Limits. The agreements will be subject to ap- proval by the Council.
 Among other business, the Coun- cil moved to ask for sealed bids on the old Police Department Pa trol wagon, to be presented before the next regular Council session. IL was decided not to take out l. z
