*Sis Boom Bah’
Acted Out By
City Council
A two weeks’ long fuse, lit by
C. A. Muldoon of the Barbecue at
17th and Cushman, sizzled to its
end this week.
The firecracker exploded at Mon
day night's council meeting.
For the third consecutive week,
en attempt was made to transfer a
liquor license from Thomas D. Al
len. proprietor of the Buffalo sa
loon, now operating his establish
ment outside the city, to a bar with
in the city limits.
For the third consecutive week,
the council said no.
Muldoon, who has tried twice to
obtain the license, was represented
at the Monday session by attorney
Warren Taylor. “It doesn't allow
any more licenses in town," Taylor
argued. “Muldoon is an old time
Fairbanksan w'ho has been in busi
ness here for many years. He has
already spent $6,000 fixing up his
place.” He added that Muldoon
didn’t went to spend any more if
the council wasn't going to grant
his license.
The council, led by Ben Potter,
stated that both the sanitation and
police departments had submitted
recommendations against the trans
fer.
Another reason several members
gave for refusing the transfer was
the unorthodox way in which Al
len had handled the situation. Af
ter purchasing a city liquor license
for $1,000, he moved outside the
city, operating there under a $500
Territorial license. He kept his city
license in the hope of selling it to
some aspiring bar owner in town.
This is the first such situation, and
the council did not wish to set a
bad precedent.
“Is there anyway to vote 'maybe'
on this thing?” asked newly inaug
erated councilman, Harvey Ander
son. But the vote, once taken, was
final: Anderson, Dr. Paul Haggland.
and George Siflln/an voted for the
transfer: Dick Greuel Potter, and
Tom Downes against. Mayor Doug
i las Preston biroke the tie by voting
nay.
The vote climaxed a violent ver
bal wrangle that made the session
one of the livliest to be held this
summer..

City Council
Tables Action
On Wold Building
The city council tabled action on
a Planning and Zoning Commission
report Monday night recommend
ing that the body grant Sig Wold,
head of a local moving and storage
business permission to erect a build
ing on 15th avenue between Turner
street and Gillam way.
Wold has asked permission to
build a 24 by 150 foot building for
the dead storage of automobiles.
Such a structure would be contrary
to the zoning of the area.
The commission report concluded:
“The Planning and Zoning Commis
sion feels that it can not refuse to
allow the extension of such non
conforming use so long as the pres
ent ordinance does not provide for
the eventual systematic elerpina
tion of all non-conforming uses.”
Councilman Greuel stated that if
approved, the recommendation
would be an open invitation for oth
ers to come in and do the same
thing.
Other councilmen concurred, al
though they- said that they sympa
thized with Wold’s attempts to
make improvements.
