Liquor License Fee Decision Postponed

At last nights special meeting of the City Council with Seward bar operators no decision was reached concerning the increase in liquor license fees. The meeting was continued till this evening, at which time it is expected that vote will be taken.
 With Attorney R. E. Baumgart- ner representing the bar operators, a solid front was presented in op- position to the raise. Baumgartner stated that the burden of proof rested on the city in showing that t Q population h d increased above the fifteen hundred mark.
 Bar license fees are auto matically increased from $500 to 5000 when the population in creases above the 1900 mark, as pointed out by Councilman Painter.
 While an official United States census will not be made in the Territory until next year, it is the beileI Of council members that, since the tuberculosis x-ray survey of last year showed that 270O peo- pie had x-rays taken, this figure could be used as a basis for com putting population.
 Some interesting facts were brought out during the meeting. It seems that while business in Sew ard was not too hard hit by the recent shipping tie-up, the bar owners took a severe beating.
 Hal Gilfilen stated that his pay roll runs to a huge sum and that one-third of his gross income goes to taxes. William Novick stated that he thought the bar owners should have more time before hav-- ing to meet the present issue, The meeting tonight will be called to order at seven o'clock, at which time the council is expected to make it's decision.

longshorenlen Ask for More Freight Cars

T e Seward Longshoremen's Union sent letter to The Alaska Railroad several days ago asking that more railroad cars be allotted to the Seward terminal to expe- dite unloading of ships.
 The information was released yesterday by Hank Pallage, chair man of the public relations com mittee of the Seward Longshore- mems Union. Pallage stated that officials of the railroad had been invited to attend a conference with the local unions to discuss the matter.
 It is the contention of the union men that they can do a faster job of unloading if the cargo can be placed directly in the railroad cars. If the goods has to be stored in the big warehouses here, it results in the added cost of double han ding
 A check at the office of the Northern Stevedoring and Han ding Corporation disclosed that the company was well satisfied with the speed with which the last several ships had been unloaded at Seward. Enough cars had been available for all purposes, it was said.
 MT. Tom Jones, dock superin- tendant, said that the railroad had sent all the cars ordered, and that, while there had been a couple of close calls, there had been no work stoppages because of car short ages.
 It was learned that the Army transports which have been in Seward in the past ten days had arrived on tWenty-four hours notice, but that when the ships arrived there were cars in the yards to handle the cargo dis charged.
 MT. Jones stated that the rail- road had replaced most of it's worn out cars with new ones, and that about 250 cars had been de- livered, with an equal number still on the way.
 The great bulk of goods going to the Interior go over the docks at Seward, including most of the Army's shipments.

news stories as a public serviceD

 Lack of sufficient economicaB portation-poSSibly more than any other single deficiency-hind- CTS development of the territory.
 The key to the solution of Alas ka's transportation problems, ac- cording to the Salisbury report, are what he calls transportation com panies." They are the skillful in tegration of railroad, truck and bus service, air and water lines. Sails bury's advice is Don't rely on one and neglect the others.
 This does not imply a single management or transportation monopoly he said, but instead some form. of traffic commission which would evaluate the require mentS of talD and then synchron- iZe the rates, schedules, and other pertinent factors.
 For instance, a feeder" system of bus and truck transportation seems the logical answer for the Kenai Peninsula Salisbury cut pattern for the Kenai because this area is further along in develop ment planning than any other area which can use a feeder system
