DAIR WHEN OBTAIN NEEDED ORDINANCE FOR MILK ROUTES

A committee of Matanuska Valley dairymen met with the Anchorage city council this past Tuesday night and succeeded in obtaining a change in an ordin- ance which has hindered the dis tribution of fresh dairy products from the valley
 The ordinance in question stat ed that" .no solicitor, peddler, hawker, itinerant merchant, transient vendor or other per son shall go in and upon private residences in the city for the pur- pose of soliciting orders !" and was designed to protect An chorage residents from the nuis- ance of a continual stream of door-to- door salesmen.
 It was contended by the dairy committee that the ordinance was not designed to disrupt the es- tablished practice,i in American cities, of the door to-door delivery of fresh dairy products, which are perishable and whose prompt delivery the American public has accepted as a desirable tra-. ditiOn. 1t was further stated that efficient operations of dairy routes upon which many house. holders rely depended upon the retail routeman being able to maintain a concentration of GUS toners. This is particularly true, 1t was averred, under Alaskan conditions of high operating costs and high turn over rate" of residents.
 Following some discussion. be- tween council members and the committees representatives, Hen ny Hett, Victor Falk,an Roland Snodgrass, the council unani- mously voted to amend the word- ing of the ordinance to exempt duly licensed agents, taking or- ders for fresh milk and cream, from the ordinance.
 Members of the committee ex- pressed their appreciation to the council for its cooperation and understanding of the problems facing the growing local indus try Grade "A milk production in the Anchorage milkshed averag- es 15,000 quarts per day.

COUNCIL w NOTES

All Council members, (with the exception of Bertram Duff who was unable to attend) and the Mayor were in attendance at the December 10 meeting of the Palmer City Council Also pres ent were James Hamlin, mem Der of the Hospital Board of Di- rectors, and Dr. Marshal Simp- son, member of the hospital staff.
 The hospital representatives requested the city consider some method of handling police cases which must be confined to the hospital. During a lengthy dis cussion it was pointed out by the visitors that occasionally an un- ruly person who is under arrest, needs hospital care. It was point ed oat that the hospital is not properly equipped to handle un- ruly patients without special guards. The responsibility of pay ments for "city" patients was dis cussed and the request of the hospital board was turned over to the Public Safety Committee for further study and recommen- dations.
 Council members approved a request for $1,989,75 to purchase immediately needed equipment for the fire department includ- ing two 400-foot lengths of hose, gasgets, bunker pants and coats, mitts, hex bars and two Scott air-pacs. This equipment purchase was recommended by Fire Chief George Burns following his visit to Palmer last week.
 Bar operators in the city asked approval of a request to remain open the night of December 3l through January 1 for their an nual holiday parties. Because such control is vested in the Ter ritory, and no longer on a local level, the Council voted to recon mend to the Liquor Control Board that favorable considera- ton be given the request.
 A letter will be written to the Territorial Liquor Control Board requesting that pacxage liquor
