Page 2 • THE REVIEW • September 11, 1981 Do You Want Nevvark's Bars and Restaurants To Close at Midnight??? • Will the Ordinance Work??? 1) No. Because of people driving to bars on the outskirts of Newark, Maryland, and Pennsylvania which are open until1 a.m. or 2 a.m., major traffic problems will result. Under the current 1 a.m. closing time there is a staggering ex odus between 12:30 a.m. and 2 a.m. 2) No. There will be a significant increase in public drinking especially along Main Street where package stores re main open 'til1 a.m. Because of the close proximity of discount liquor stores on the outskirts of Newark it would do no good for the owners of package stores to voluntarily close an hour earlier. 3) No. In the last few years Main Street, Newark has obtained a reputation of being an American Graffiti where underaged kids in souped up cars can publically drink. In the spring of 1981, the Newark Police Department realized this as a serious problem, ran a successful campaign to control the problem by enforcing the ordinances on the books. ' . The proposed ordinance will just increase public drinking on the street - undoing all past progress. 4) No. There will be a marked increase in private parties in Fraternities, apartment complexes, dormitories, and private homes. The Newark Police Department has previously stated that the majority of liquor related complaints arise from these parties. • What are The Negative Impacts This Ordinance Will Create For The Newark Commu~ity? 1) The financial impact would be staggering. The income and revenues generated between midnight and 1 a.m. is significantly greater than most other times. The high volume of shift workers and college students in the Newark area who favor patronizing at this time would seek other outlets. 2) Many smaller businesses would suffer financial loss to the point of going under due to the loss of business in that last hour. 3) Salaries lost to employees; many of whom are ·Newark residents, has been conservatively estimated at over $20,000 a week. 4) Because of the drop in business d~ring that la,st hour, tllere wpuld be a significant·loss t9 both the City of ~ewark and Delmarva Power with electric, water, sewer and gas usage. · " ·' ·- · • - • 0 ~ • f; ' ol h ,.f I ' f" J '-t .. t'4 5) This ordinance will have a devastating impact on those establishments who have live entertainment. Due to the heavy financial loss during their last hour of busine~s many of these establishments will not be able to afford to pro vide the high quality level of entertainment they are currently presenting. 6) Financial loss to the city in parking fees and fines that are taken in during that last hour of business. 7) Currently Newark's bars and restaurants are catering to an estimated 3,000 people during that last hour of business. These·patrons have come to recognize Newark as a place to come for quality restaurants, live entertain ment, andipleasant surroundings in which to socialize. The closing of these establishments one hour earlier would be penalizing these patrons unjustly. ' ... I ., • What are the Viable Alternatives? · " 1) Efficient rescheduling of the Newark Police Department's manpower so that more officers are on duty during high activity periods as compared to low activity times. 2) Visible foot patrols in high complaint" areas. 3) Introduction of Cabaret Licenses to the state legislature. This would enable restaurants and hotels to exclude minors at a certain hour. 4) Allowing adequate time to measure the effectiveness of the newer and stronger regulations passed by the Delaware Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission on August 30th, 1981. These laws regard last call procedures and were introduced to control the volume of liquor being sold between 12:30 and 1 a.m.
