Uniform Closing
Hours Sought
For Bars, Taverns

JUNEAU - Finance Director
John Mckinney has said he will
ask the Territorial Board Of Liq-
uor Control to consider adoption
of uniform closing hours for all
bars, taverns, clubs and package
stores in Alaska.
Mckinney, a member of the
five-man board, put his recon-
mendations in a letter asking
that such a regulation be adopted
at the next meeting of the group.
McKinney's proposed regula-
ton would knock one hour off
the present Saturday night oper-
ating times for establishments
within the territory's larger
towns. 1t would end the 24-hour
operations now allowed for es-
adjustments outside of incorpor-
ated areas and in towns with less
than $50 residents.
McKinney's letter, addressed
to other liquor board members,
proposed closing hours between
2 am. and 10 am. on weekdays
and holidays and closure between
2 am. and pm. on Sundays.
The finance director, who re-
peatedly has urged uniform clos
ing hours for all liquor licensees
or no closing regulations on any
Of them, said adoption of the pro
posal would permit the board ito

Waning Popularity
Foreshadows End Of
MacMilIan's Government

LONDON, R -- A shattering
defeat in an election to fill a
House of Commons vacancy cast
gloom today over supporters OF
Britain's Conservative govern
ment.
The waning popularity of the
Conservative rulers headed by
Prime Minister Macmillan was
pointed up dramatically in the
North England textile city Of
Rochdale.
The Conservatives not only lost
their grip on the districts House
of Commons seat but ran a poor
third to both the opposition Labor
party and the normally weak Lib
erals.
Conservative leaders had been
reconciled in advance to loss of
the election, but the magnitude
of the defeat came as surprise.

Partner Replacing Friday
By HAROLD HEFFERNAN
HOLLYWOOD (NANA).-


Frank Smith doing in recent episodes of TVS
popular Dragnet isn't being whipped up
tirely for dramatic or comedy effect 1t has
a hidden meaning, of much more Importance
right now than audience reaction.
The story behind the story is that Sergt
Joe Friday is to be eaSed out of the show come
next fall and it is imperative that he be weaned
away gradually and plausibly.
So. when Smith passes his question-an
ordeal it will mean curtains for his long-t time
crime-chasing business.
More to the point. Jack friday Webb is
quitting and Ben Smith Alexander boosted
to sergeant. will be taking over the top spot
when the program comes back next fall.
All incidents leading up to the shift are
being woven into the scripts and audiences
will be carried right along every step of
the dissolution. For instance, a week
after Frank passes his exam and gets his stripe,
Friday will be receiving a promotion to
Newfoundland a boost upstairs Then, after
assuming Fridays chores, Smith will introduce
a new subordinate helper-a fellow yet to be
picked But viewers won't completely lose sight
of Friday He'll drop downstairs now and then
to do guest shots.
Although official announcement of the new
formal is yet to come Ben admits that this
seems to sum up the revised plans SO far as
he can guess

busy in various interests that never

spot near Republic Studio home of the pro-
gram. But l have strong bunch that he's
getting out just fast possible Jack has
wanted to quit acting for years and devote
himself to producing The only way the sponsors
got him to stay on this season to double
up on the shooting schedule SO he'd have more
free time"
Ben recalled with a chuckle that he was
hired by Webb back in 1852 to do small part
in Dragnet for lust a few weeks" The
sudden death of Jacks original partner Bart
Marlborough, however moved Ben up to the
role he's held ever since-and a total of $50
episodes.
Ben, the former angel faced baby star, and
his wife Lesley, had retired to Carmel, Calf,
and were concentrating on a car rental agency,

DIES IN NORFOLK THURSDAY

Mrs. Essie Etheridge Bendall
died at 11:30 Thursday morning in
a Norfolk hospital following a long
illness. Funeral services had not
been arranged at press time.
Mrs. Bendall, who was the
widow of the late Benjamin Bird

native of Wanchese. She was the
daughter of the late Lula and
Jesse Thomas Etheridge of Wan

life in Norfolk.
She is survived by one sister,
Mrs. Paul Spady of Norfolk; and

been the desire of the State and
Local Health Departments, as
well as local property owners,
that an adequate and safe pub
lie water supply be installed"
8. The commissioners urge non
resident property owners and those
eligible to vote to study this re-
port and find out for themselves
how this bond issue will affect
them. They should compare pres
ent fire insurance rates with those
if the bond issue passes. They
should compare present cost OF
securing water with estimated
costs of the public water supply.
The Commissioners feel that with
these factors considered, it will be
found that the cost of many prop
erty owners will be negligible, and
some will actually save money.
A. Every property owner who is
not entitled to a vote on this vital
issue is urged to study this report
and visit the Sanitary District of
flee for additional information, and
then make known his views to the
permanent residents who will de-
eide the issue at the polls.
5. Every qualified voter is urged
to register for the referendum

gust %. Books are open at the

close August 23rd. The referen-
dunn will be held on Saturday, Sep
TENDER 6, the polling place located
at the Kill Devil Hills Town Hall.
Voters are urged to consult the
individual board members or visit
the Sanitary District office for
Qualification of any phase of the
subject on which he is uncertain,
or has heard conflicting state
ments.
6. The commissioners recognize
that there is opposition to this
bond issue. Some of this is due to
the natural reluctance of people
to increase their taxes. In this
case, it seems absolutely necessary
to do so in order to have a safe
water supply. 1t should be noted
thot the Local Government Com
mission, State Agency set up to
supervise local financing, has APP
proved of the need, soundness and
feasibility of the issue and its
method of financing. A safe water
supply and adequate fire protec-
ton will bring more people into
this area and increase the liveli-
hood of everyone. Some opposition
stems from ignorance or misunder-
standing of the need for a public
water supply and the method OF
financing. 1t is hoped that this
report will assist everyone to get
the facts.
The public's money will be safe
guarded in every way. Bonds will
probably be purchased by the

When work is begun, this agency

At the end of the ten years (and
possibly earlier) on the basis OF
the experience in communities
where similar systems have been
installed, the income from fees for
water service would exceed the
annual operating costs, and SUR
plus would begin accommodating.

The balance as of July II, 1868
was $2,2O2.28 of which $1,921.25
was cash on hand and $281.03 was
in uncollected taxes.
There will be tax levy of APP
proximately 10G for 1868 to take
care of normal operating expenses
and for bringing the survey up to
date, and the districts share of
the expense for the new test wells,
which the U. S. Geological Survey
is now in the process of digging.
Costs, Benefits and
Other Factors Concerning
The Proposed System
At the time of the original sur
vey for a water and fire system
by the Linberg Engineers, which
was begun in 1949 and completed
in 1862, the estimated cost was
placed at $635,O00 for the water
system and $4,000 for the fire
system, or total of $650,000. By
1858, when the first referendum
was held, rising costs had forced
this figure up to $828,000 for wa
ter and $4,000 for fire equip
ment, or total of $850,000. On
the basis of the latest surveys by
Southern Mapping & Engineering
Company, the estimated cost at
this time is $1,140,000 for water
and $4,000 for fire equipment,
or total of $1,180,000.
This increase of $530,000 since
1949 or $3S0,OOO since 1858 is
caused partly by the addition of
the many new homes of Avalon
Beach to the proposed water sys-
tenn. However, the commissioners
point out that in this same period
there has been tremendous in
crease in the taxable valuation
within the Sanitary District.
