Prompt Attention to Local and Out of Town Work PETITION ASKS BEER PARLORS CLOSE SUNDAY KETCHIKAN COUNCIL REFERS GOOD CITIZENSHIP LEAGUE REQUEST TO ALASKA LEGISLATURE. _• Further legislation of liquor dis^j pensing and sale, before thiT*territor ial legislature completes its session, was denied by the city council, ac cording to a recent issue of the Ket chikan Chronicle. A petition, signed by 181) voters, was laid aside for future action. It asked that an ordinance be pass “d prohibiting the dispensing of beer and wines in beer parlors one; day each week, naming Sunday as the day best suited for the holiday. The Good Citizenship League spon sored the petition. Although the council expressed it self in favor of the request embod ied in the petition, three council men speaking actively in favor of it and two offering no comment or op inion, it was deemed advisable to see what legislation is imposed in Juneau next month before consider ing the matter. “The whole set-up probably will be changed when the legislature acts on the new liquor laws to be introduced," one councilman stated, “and Svhat we do now probably will be useless.” Instructions were given the city clerk to communicate with the or ganization presenting the petition and advise its members to direct their request to Juneau.
