COUNCIL ID ACT
 ON APPROPRIATION
Additional S2O,OOO for Welcome Home Celebration to Be Discussed


 Cussions of many matters of vast im- portancc. The proposition of appro- priating $20,O0O for the Welcome Home celebration will probably be the the council will take favorable action and recommend tho matter to the board of finance and taxation.
 The following ordinance has been recommended for adoption by Mayor George A. Quiglcy:
 That moving picture exhibitions be and are hereby authorized in this city on Sundays between the hours of [ o'clock p. m., and 10:3O D. m., pro- Nided that if charge is made for wit messing or for admission 10 such Sun day moving picture exhibition such charge shall not exceed the charges customarily made at said place for moving picture exhibitions at evening performances on other days of the week, and provided further that the license of any moving picture license violating the foregoing shall be re- Voked."
 The only objection to this restrict tion will be that prices should not be advanced over week nights. Because the Sunday performances cost the thcaters more it has been the pol icy of the theater manager to raise their prices on Sunday nights. The following communication has been submitted by the board of fire commissioners in regard to the pub lie works garage which is to be util- iZed as fire alarm Headquarters: We respectfully beg leave to re- port in accordance With your wishes in relation to the use Of the board Of public works garage on Elm street as a fire alarm headquarters.
