Fruit Stores in Barre Com
piled with the City's
Instructions
BUT DRUG STORES
WERE OPEN AS USUAL
Keepers of Fruit Stores
Were Not at All Pleased
with Situation

Fruit stores in different quarters of the
city did not share in the Sunday sale of
cigars, ice cream and soft drinks yes
terday. Seven dealers, who We're inter-
viewed this morning said they had been
requested by the aldermanic license COM
mittee and policeman to remain closed
during the Sabbath. Many of them said
they had noticed that drug stores We're
open during the day. Lunch rooms and
restaurants also extended their week
day welcome to the transient hungry
and Others.
In a number OF instances, it is said,
licenses under which the fruit dealers
have been doing business throughout the
year expired April !. Although it is con-
tended that the permits hold good until
another application for license is re-
fused or granted by the city council. It
is understood that number of applica-
tons will be considered at the regular
meeting of the city council tonight.
Dealers in fruit who also sell ice
cream and tobacco, were not at all pleas
I'd with the situation to-day. One man
who complied with the committees re-
quest yesterday stated to-day that his
store would be open to the public next
Sunday. Another declared that the
lealors would band together and see that
everything is closed up tighter than a
lrum on Sabbaths TO come. He intimated
hat even the electric cars would cease
% ply their course between the two cit
es. For the life of them. they say. they |
ant sec the justice of allowing one |
lealer to sell goods to the exclusion OF |
mother, who handles the same class of /
wares. In this connection however, all |
Il the fruit store owners express a will I
ngness to close If the same rule is OBJ |
erved everywhere along the street.
