Also submitted the following report:
To the Honorable President and Members of the
Senate:
The Judiciary committee have had
Senate bill No. Sc under consideration
The object contemplated by this bill is to
prevent the exercise of licensed occcu-
pations from being carried on on Sunday.
There are SO many cases which have to
be made exceptions to the general rule
sought to be established by this bill that
it almost renders the main object of the
bill nugatory; besides there seems to us
other exceptions, which ought to be made
if the bill should pass. Upon the whole
the committee have come to the conclusion
that the municipal corporations ought to
regulate such matters, as different local.
ties and situations might make different
regulations necessary, which could be
best judged of by the local authorities
Your committee, therefore, recommend
the indefinite postponement Of tho bill.
