Grafton had decided TO fight the Groubard bill
legalzing the keeping open of kosher butcher
shops Sundays in this city. He said that
the bill would be no public convenience. as most
of the purchases of meat on the East Side where

are made in the evenings.
IF this bill became law" he said "it would
mean the general opening of retail butcher shops
in this city Sundays. Every owner OF a
butcher shop. whether he was jew or not
would then have kosher annex, which would
give him an excuse for keeping open on Sun
days"
