LIQUOR STORES ASY ORDINANCE FOR NEW HOURS Mayor Lucas Tells Council He Will Have Clean Government New office holders at the City Council table, Mayor Harry I Lucas and Councilman John Me- Cormick, and re-elected Councilmen Ralph Beistline and Oscar Harri, were sworn in last night and a short business meeting of the City Council followed, during which li- quor dispensers asked for a new ordinance regulating their operating hours. A petition was read by Attorney Norman Banfield, representing sev- en of eight in Juneau requesting a change in the present city ordinance number 239, which places restrictions on beer parlors and liquor stores alike The petition asks the city for an ordinance with hours for liquor stores of from 1 pm. to 8 pm. on Sundays and holidays; 10 am. to 12 p.n. on all days preceding Sun- days or holidays, and 10 am. to 10 pm. all other days It was suggested by the seven signers of the petition, that the new ordinance would permit liquor stores to comply more faithfully with Territorial laws and city ordi- with regard to nances, specially the sale of liquor to minors and persons under the inlluence of liquor. A request was made for city co- operation in curbing sale of boot- Jeg liquor during closed hours, al- legedly a strong competitive factor. The petition and proposed ordi- nance were tabled for further dis- cussion at next Friday's meeting. Mayor's Message In assuming office as Chief Ex- ecutive of Juneau, Mayor Harry Lucas said to the Council and the gallery: “I wish to state that I take this office with the greatest security that I can carry on as well as those who have preceded me. “I will endeavor to work in har- mony with my fellow workers and hope to the best of my ability to glve the citizens of Juneau a good clean administration of city affairs “It is my intention to place the city on a budget system, and my hopes are to keep that budget in halance unless some unforeseen em- ergency arises over which we may have no control “No doubt there will be questions of importance arise that will re- quire serious consideration, but I might state for my fellow workers and myself, that we will deal with them in a right manner so far as our ability permits. “I do appreciate the honor that has been bestowed on me by the citizens of Juneau and hope that 1 can meet with all their expec- tations.” Frank Morley and "Jack Lang were voted timekeepers for the work rclief projects to begin to- morrow morning. Al Forsyth, Ter- ry Lewis, Dan Cole and Will Har- ris, were named foremen for the four rock wall projects.

Paul of Juneau. Reporting the death and telling some of the early history Mr. Paul said Possibly only the real pioneer of Alaska will remember Mrs. Marg- Saxman who died in Pasa- California, on April 3, which only shows how fast Alaska is changing. Her husband was Samuel axman who was the Federal school teacher at Loring in 1886 “Samuel Saxman and Louis Paul ~the father of the Paul brothe were drowned early in December 1866, when, with an Indian named Johnson, they went to view the pro- pesed townsite on Annette Island called “Touk-ahni” (winter village) where the Indians of Cape Fox and Tongass proposed to build a model village “In the March following, while Tillie Paul was recovering from the birth of Louis, the & uts of the Taimpsheans, David Leask, and two thers, stopped o pay their respects to widow of Louis Paul, and n about “Touk-ahni” from Mr Paul, to which point they were then suided by Chief George Johnscn it is how the town of Metlakatla ime into bein ‘In honor of Samuel Saxman re- garded as having died for them, the Sahn-yah-quan (south people) named their new town “Saxman” three miles south of Ketchikan “Mrs. Saxman was genuinely in- terested in the Thlingit people and soon found employment in the Gov- ernment School at Juneau, where she taught on the site of what is now the Federal Building. Later she entered the force at the Sitka Train. ing School where she taught until she retired to the home in Pasadena Scores of Indians yet living can testify to her love and zeal and af- firm that her influence is still living among them. “She was eighty-four years old “Her life, with her husband, touched all the people of Metlakat- la. Tt is not known where these peo- ple would have gone ii Samuel Sax man and Louis Paul had not taken that last trip.” - BIBLE STUDY TO BE HELD TONIGHT ‘Tonight at the Bethel Mission, 121 Main Street, another interesting Bible study will be held, presented oy Ivan Winsor.
