DRAFTING OF LIQUOR ORDINANCE
The draft of proposed ordinance pertaining to the hours
of closing of liquor establishments, presented for its first
reading last night at the City Council meeting, presents an
official effort at setting up a regulation as to the control of
the sale of liquor in Nome.
The need of such a regulation has been evident all sum
mer. Obnoxious incidents have occurred and a situation,
where no control has been exercised has been boine by the
public for some time past. Many have admitted the need
of regulating the closing hours of establishments both dis
pensary and retail—but todate nothing has been done in
Nome to create this control.
The city was empowered by the Territorial Liquor Board
to care for its own control of the liquor traffic within its in
corporated limits. Ever, ever, there is more than one side
to the question of imposing regulations on this particular
tvpe of business.
The public is to be considered as well as those who are
in the business of retailing or dispensing liquor. Last night s
reading of the proposed ordinance to regulate the closing
hours, is one means of establishing a control, which we be
lieve will remove certain conditions, which have been in
many cases, an outrage to public morals.
In its efforts to set up these regulations the city council
is endeavoring to get the opinions of those directly interest
ed, as well as the public viewpoint. The ordinance will be
read for the second time at the next meeting in its present
form, or it will be changed to meet the suggestions of the
public and the businessman.
We feel that this important issue should be carefully in
vestigated, both by the council and by those opposed to liq
uor, as w'ell as those whose business it will directly affect.
There is no apparent reason why a fair and decisive ordin
ance cannot be framed to meet the conditions of Nome.
However, it is believed, that those who are vitally interested
would do’ well to think over the matter and be prepared to
either draft the present ordinance and adhere to it, or else
propose one that will do better to fit the conditions.
Roger Babson, the statistician, says Long's death will
benefit Roosevelt. Isn’t that the same chap who predicted
prosperity returning around the corner during the Hoover
regime
Tenakee Tim suggests that maybe the reason some of
the local boys are dressing up evening nowadays is because
the school teachers are back in town. _

would be proper to impose as clos
ing limits. Some councilmen be
lieved that business houses possess
ing retail licenses should be closed
at eight pm. every night and remain
closed until eight am of the day fol
lowing. Others believed that 9 pm
at night would be a better hour at
which to close the establishments.
Another question which seemed to
indicate future hardships and differ
ence of opinion was whether, in dis
pensaries were other forms of busi
ness were carried on besides liquor,
was whether the entire business
should be closed at the specified
time, or just prohibit the sale of
liquor past that hour.
It was generally conceded that un

which would enable the department
to improve the air mail service in
the Territory.
The Alaska star route mail serv
ice bill was successful in the last
congress, he pointed out, and gives
the department necessary authority
to let contracts for airplane star
route service. It did not pass, how
ever, until the last days of the ses
sion and until after the deficien
cy bill, carrying an appropriation,
had been sent to the Bureau of the
Budget and was well on its way
through Congress. Thus there was
not time to go before the Bureau of
the Budget and ask for a deficiency
appropriation to cover the star
route service in Alaska, Mr. Bran
ch stated.
The situation is, he explained, that
the department has the necessary
authority but will have no funds
to pay for the air mail service until
Congress reconvenes.
