PUBLIC HEARING - BILLS 130. 7033 Id -ID No. 7039, UTxrI3G TO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES: (HOURS OF SALE AND II0U12S OF CLOSING) : At 8:00 P.H., Itayor Kaufman announced that a public hearing scheduled for this time is now open. Councilman Werner, who had requested that the bills be pre- pared, and which had been given first reading at a previous meeting, explained that the bills pertain to the closing of all establishments that sell liquor, or non -intoxicating beverages, between the hours of 1:33 A.11. and 6:00 A.M. every day of the week. In addition, he said, the bills have been set up so that they conform to the current statutes of the State of Missouri. Ile dis- cussed the effect of the bills, and said he would like it to be clear that these bills would affect only establishments in this city that have licenses for either liquor by the drink, or 3% beer licenses; a restaurant that serves coffee, etc. only would not in any *ray be affected, but, if they do sell liquor, they would have to close at 1:30 A.M. In response to an inquiry by Councilman Lieberman, Councilman Werner said the purpose of his introducing the two mills is to require closing of establish- ments during certain hours, namely, between 1:30 A.I4. and 6:00 A.H. on any day of the week, as a result of Judge 1,ichardson's ruling. He said that if the bills are not adopted, taverns and establishments serving liquor could stop serving liquor at 1:30 A.L. and continue to stay open for the purpose of serving; food, and this would make it difficult to enforce the ordinance, and for police to control. Hr. Arthur Foger, attorney, representing the Pastrami Joynt, was the first speaker. He reviewed the background history in detail, pointing out that at the time the Pastrami Joynt first made application, they indicated the type of business which they intended to open: that it would be primarily a food establishment with 3.2 beer being served with the food, and they also indicat- ed what hours they intended to stay open, which are from about 11 o'clock A.M. to 3 o'clock A.11. the next morning, on a continuous basis. Ile said the license was granted with the full understanding of the nature and the type of operation which was proposed. He said his client is aware of the State law which prohibits the sale of 3.2 beer after 1:30 A.! -'L. and there has been no issue in that regard - they have abided by the law and sold 3.2 beer in accordance with the hours provided by that law.
