at o'clock the year around instead
of in winter and in summer time.
Commissioners Taylor and Lynch
thought o'clock was little early
and Commissioner Taylor said he
thought it possible that a new measure
to substitute the one now on the
statute books might be adopted. In
this event the present measure, offered
by the Mayor, would be repealed.
What will be done 1 can't say yet"
said Mr.. Taylor; suppose you ask the
Mayor"
why, don't know that the present
ordinance can be amended as they
have asked" said Mayor Royal, las it
has been passed. When this matter
was first talked of the moving picture
men were satisfied that 5 o'clock
would be satisfactory. Now it seems
they desire o'clock. Whether any
thing will be done further, I don't
know"
The petitioners set forth that the
Royal ordinance is partial and dis
eliminating to the moving picture
shows in the central section in that
the shows on the outer districts do
not open their houses until o'clock:
that 1t requires at least an hour and a
half to run off the reels; that the chill
dren. therefore. will lose the benefit of
the whole reels; that the business men
in their immediate vicinities approve
of the hour that Is observed now, and
in conclusion ask that the measure be
amended to fix 9 o'clock the year
around as the hour limit for attend
ance.
