tition asking the county attorney to
stop the sale by drug stores on
Sunday Of any but legitimate drug
articles persist in their attitude, 1t is
possible that the old "blue Sunday
laws will be revived in Salt Lake with
a vengeance.
Some of the leading druggists have
informed the county attorney that II
be proceeds to enforce the ancient law
in the case of the drug stores, he will
be asked to take similar steps against
the sale of cigars, candy, ice cream or
any other article now sold on Sunday
in this city.
The petition, filed with the attorney
several days ago, sets out that the
state law pertaining to the transaction
of business on Sunday is being vio-
lated by nearly all the drug stores.
This law exempts drug stores in the
sale of pharmaceutical articles, but the
petitioners declare that it does not al
low the druggists to sell their many
side lines on Sunday.
a conference between all concerned
in the matter will be held in the
county attorneys office next WedneB-
day.
