Owner Of Restaurant
Properly Fights New

Permit for Tenant

The Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board today has under considera-
ton one of the strangest cases II
has heard in years.
The owner Of property used as q
restaurant Is opposing the applica-
ton Of his tenant for a license to
sell all kinds Of drinks. The tenant
Stephanos Radios. who conducts a
restaurant at 322 Kennedy street
NV, now has a license to sell beer
and light wines. He is applying for
Ia license to sell mixed drinks and
Liquor also.
The owner of the property, Joseph
d. Gatti, 1900 Sixteenth street NV,
said that, If the board grants the
license, 1t will be abetting a nui-
sance. He said he would contest
such action In the courts.
Mr.. Gatti told the board the lease
he gave Mr.. Rados explicitly says
he may sell beer but nothing
stronger. Mr.. Gatti said he owns
other property nearby and that the
operation Of q restaurant selling
liquor would impair the value OF
his property.
Mr.. Radios and his two sons testi-
fed, they are losing business be-
cause they may not serve mixed
drinks.
Evening star., 1948-02-28

Also under advisement was q case
against the Riggs Grill, operated BY
John Costakis and George Kosh-
.ouras, at 1901 p street NV, charged
with selling beer to two intoxicated
persons. The charges were preferred
by Policeman Henry Miller of No.
precinct, Pvt. Miller told the board
he had arrested man and a wom-
an In the grill and had charged both
with being drunk.
The defendants presented an
array of witnesses, including the
man and woman arrested. They
denied they had been drunk.

The Seward polaris & Kenai Peninsula-Aleutian chain news., 1948-04-24

no person or organization has openly combatted the measure III the court.
 The take" for the Territory from the Seward diTtrics under the 1 percent Sales Tnx came to slightly over $26,000. Th's is the amount of the city's deficit at the time of the new councils en- trance.
 This percent was paid by anyone who purchased any goods in the city.
 In the city council meetings, the matter of Soles Tax has been taken under adViSemcnt and study is being made as to the advantages if it is followed thru aS from the date of July 1, l948, when the action of the Territory in the matter of a collection of 1 percent tax on Sales expires.
 Th;s is a continuance of a sales tax collection which it is thought will not cause business to suffer out,-wth a situation such as ex ists in Seward the writer feels that even if the next quarter shows increased work for busi- ness people the results as shown on the tax income to the city will more than compensate.
 This sales-tax will bring to the city an income from people pas sing through and people who do not pay any personal or realty tax, what so ever.
 It is a source of revenue that
The Seward polaris & Kenai Peninsula-Aleutian chain news., 1948-04-24

is not now being tapped and one which chauld not be over looked. A sour"e which for one year may b. tired and which should be tri- cd for two reasons: It will cut taxes in general; It will pay off
 he existing deficit of $26, l59,84
 nd 'c ve a substantial balance if practiced for the ensuing year.
