It was introduced by Representative Hellrich of Nome, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, but it is not a committee product. It has been prepared by him with the assistance of local legal friends. A similar measure will be intro- duced in the Senate Tuesday by Senator Lomen, Nome. Regulation and Taxes It provides for the regulation of the sale and manufacture of the beverages mentioned and for tax- ing them. It establishes a system of licenses for places where they can be sold, or manufactured, and provides for excise taxes. It is not a finished bill, Mr. Hel- lerich said today. It probably will have to be amended considerably before it becomes a law. However, it is believed to furnish a sound et Abooseni’s orbr. isied: Yaat e s com-| “The City Dock was falling down . i R X NS TENDEON IO : Ul 1 U Se|poiicies and programs for ths com {® today.

The Star says the Bureau will “fade from the picture” and be replaced entirely by a new Bureau for “control rather than prohibi- tion of the liquor traffic.” Retiring Director Woodcock, now & member of the Attorney General's staff, will assist in the proposed reorganization which calls for the return of the plan originally adopt- ed by the Wilson administration for centralizing control of liquor, nar- cotics and industrial alcohol under one head. The Star further said Dalrymple is expected to declare war at once on racketeers and other “big boys” in the illicit liquor trade with a view of especially proteoting the legitimate beer manufacturers un- der the new beer law.

After the Senate bill is introduced tomorrow, it is understood that the House Committee will meet jointly with the Senate Committee and both will endeavor to agree upon the final measure before reporting it to their respective bodies. Must Have License Regulation by a system of licens- ing is the main object of the bill. Only a small amount of revenue is anticipated. Indiscriminate sale of beer and wine is given a death blow in the very first section which makes it unlawful' for any person, firm or corporation to manufacture, bottle or sell either beverages without first having obtained a license to do so. All licenses must be ob- tained from the Territorial Treas- urer. Licenses range from $25 to $200 per year. They are revocable for violations of the law. For Established Businesses To prevent a horde of small eat- ing houses, or “joints” from spring- ing up overnight to take advantage | of the legalization of the sale of | beer and wine, Mr. Hellerich had incorporated a provision that cer- tain classes of businesses must have been in operation continuously for a year previous to April 7, next, hefore they can obtain a license. In this class fall hotels, boarding | houses, restaurants, buffets, cafe= terias and other public eating places. These are permitted to | serve their patrons with wines and | beer with meals that are “furnished | in good faith.” Other places that may obtain 'Ilcenses are: “beverage dispensar- |ies,” where draft beer or beer in uncapped bottles can be sold; re- tail stores, where beer and wine in original packages can be sold but not for consumption on the prem- ises; wholesale houses to provide (Continued on Page Two) to amend Section 878 of the Com- piled Laws of Alaska as amended by Section 1, of Chapter 94, Ses- sion Laws of 1931, relative to the service of summons.
