County Council of Defense Thurs
day evening, a delegation of garage
men and gasoline dealers appeared
and requested that action be taken
on the matter of closing all places
OF business of this kind at p. m,
on week days and ali day Sunday.
1t was pointed out that this Gus
tom now exists in practically all OF
the larger cities and towns, the
main arguments in favor Of it being
that it saves labor and fuel and,
hence, is war measure.
The opinion VS. expressed by Al
ger Melton, chairman OF the coun-
ell, that if it could be shown that
material saving OF labor and fuel
could be effected by the practice
suggested, it would be proper for the
council to take action in the matter.
After a general discussion, it was
voted that all the garage men and
gasoline dealers be invited to be
present at the meeting Of the coun-
Gil next Thursday evening when final
action ON the matter will be taken.
