THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 1935.. BREWERY LEASE | POSTPONED FOR K SPECIAL VOTING Council, Firm Near Agree- ment—Both Decline | to Hurry Action | Juneau voters probably cide whether (the Mt Brewing Company shall be given a lease on part of the City Dock —but it won't be at the coming general municipal election on Ap- ril 2. After discussing for more than an hour with ropresentatives of the proposed brewery in an at- tempt to hurry the formation of an ordinance to place on the gen- eral election ballot, the City Coun- ed last night rageed to postpone action until a special election at a later date. However, only after brewery of-| ficials agreed to bear the complete cost of the special election, did the Councilmen vote to postpone action. Must Advertise Lease | The Council met last night at City Hall with the knowledge that, if the voters were to be presented | the ordinance for approving or| disapproving the lease, that ordi-| nance would have to be prepared and submitted to public notice 30 days before the April 2 general| election. \ Although several prenminary dis- cussions between city officials and brewery representatives had been held recently, there still were sev-' ral major points of the propo: lease on which the two parties were not agreed. Major items of disagreement included monthly rental and length of lease. For more than an hour, open‘ discussions on these details took place. First, it was tentatively agreed that Howard Stabler, at- torney of the local company, and | City Attorney H. L. Faulkner would meet this morning, prepare an or- dinance satisfactory to both par- ties and submit it to a special meeting of the Council to be held this noon. | Decide to Postpone ‘This would have been necessary | in order to advertise the proposed | 30 days before April 2. However, it was finally agreed) that the' company would pay the) cost of a special election, rather than rush through any ordinance. As things stand after last night's meeting, indications are that the ‘Council will agree to a $100 month- ly rental, to begin 90 days after the signing of the lease and that | | will de- Juneau SHE the terms of the lease shall run;F‘ront Street for praicers ed for ¢ | vears, to continue the \period.
