LICENSES TO BE REFUSED
LIQUOR PLACES OWING
TAXES IN FAIRBANKS
City Council Will Act When Ap
plications for Renewals
Are Made
Approval of licenses will be re
fused by the Mayor and City
Council of Fairbanks, to liquor
stores and beer parlors delinqu
ent in payment of their personal
property tax^s, and employment
of barmaids may cease January
first.
Several liquor stores and beer
parlors refuse to pay the taxes
levied against their stocks of
goods. Some are delinquent for
1938 and soms for both 1937 and
1938. The total amount of these
delinquent taxes is about $1,000.
Attitude of Proprietors
The proprietors take the posi
tion that their liquor and beer
licenses fees, fixed by the Terri
torial legislature cover all im
posts, whether license fees or
personal taxes that can be levied
on liquor or beer stocks, because
the statute says “no additional
taxes shall be levied” against liq
uor or beer establishments.
The municipal authorities con
tend that the legislature did not'
intend and that the law does not
mean to exempt liquor or beer,
slocks from the general property'
tax, but merely to prevent cities
from imposing any additional liq
uor or beer license fees.
The license fee for a retail
beer, or beverage, parlor is $300
annually and for a retail liquor
store the same.
Deemed Unfair Competition
Some of the liquor and beer
places having paid the personal
property taxes, the authorities
d cm it unfair to those paying
the tax to have the competition
of places not paying the tax.
Under the procedure of the
liquor law, all applications for
liquor and beer licenses before
issuance are referred by the Ter
ritory to cities for approval.
The refusal of liquor stores
and beer parlors to pay personal
property taxes was referred
some time ago by the City Coun
cil to its police committe?*, con
sisting of William N. Growden,
chairman; Paul Greimann and
Frank Pollack.
Recommendation of Committee
At the Council meeting Mon
day night, the committee recom
mended and the council adopted
thy policy of refusing to ap
prove any license applications
from places delinquent in person
al property taxes.
All wine, liquor and beer li
censes expire January 1. Proprie
tors of places desiring r newals
must file their applications with
in the next few weeks.
In regard to barmaids, the
committee recommended approv
al of license applications be re
fused those places failing to ag
ree not to employ barmaids. The
committee’s recommendations did
not include entertainers or wait
resses whose employment would
be allowed to be continued.
The council took no action on
the recommendation as to the ex
clusion of barmaids. The opinion
was expressed that their evclu
sion might be effected without
formal action.

Baseball
Games Much
Enjoyed
Attended by the usual fans and
baseball addicts, the Commun
ity Xmas Tree double header
has ball games were played Wed
j nesday night at the School Gym.
Action was fast and furious in
| the first game of the evening
between the Hammon and Alas
kans, which ended in a last min
ute rally which netted the Al
askans only 3 runs, four short of
tieing the Hammons. The final
j score was 12 to 8.
The second game was between
the Commercial and Nome teams
and for the first four innings,
tight, exciting ball was played,
but during the last three innings
; the Nome team * emed to go to
pieces and the Commercials
rolled un a lead of three into a
' final score of 20 to 8 in their
favor.
Of marked interest were the
number of n-:iw players present
on the floor and their initial salt
ing before a crowded attendance.
Undoubtedly there will be four
quite evenly matched teams in
the series play which is due to
commence after the first of the
year. Definite time for commenc
ing the series has not yet been,
announced. Funds derived from
last night’s game will go to the
Community Xmas Tree Celebra-^
tion.
