The sunday ORDINANCE.

1t is reported that a petition, will be
presented at the next meeting of
the City Council, urging the strict
enforcement Of the ordinance in regard
to the keeping open Of places Of business
on Sunday. The petition, it is understood,
will set forth that at present the
enforcement Of the ordinance
seems entirely directed against the keepers
of saloons, whereas the ordinance applies to
alpersons keeping their usual places Of
business open on Sunday. We hear that
the petition also praYs that the street
car companies be prohibited from run
ming their cars on Sunday, livery
stable keepers be prohibited from
hiring out buggies or carriages save for fu-
nerals, and 10 fact, as we understand it, the
object of the petition is to secure the sus-
pension Of every business or avOcatiOn on
Sunday, and STOP the sale Of everything
except ice, medicine and milk, which are
excepted by the ordinance.
