complished, was the granting of the

The BARRIERS will petition the
City Council to make law pro
hibiting the opening of barber
shops on Sundays and to provide a
penalty in case of violation of said
law. It is Gained that full
authority in this part of the Sun
day law has been vested in the
towns of the State, to enforce the
closing or not of the barber
shops. Eleven of the thirteen
BARRIERS of this place have signed a
petition to the City Council pray
|iag that an ordinance closing al
barber shops on Sundays be
adopted. The other BARRIERS, We
understand, claim that they would
willingly close also, but then
customers demand their services
on Sunday mornings, and as lone
as there is no law to the contrary
they must sacrifice something To-
the comfort and convience of theil
patrons.
