Ballot to Settle
Sunday Movie Fate

Whether Montevideo is to continue
to have Sunday movies is to be deter
mined at the city election this month.
A petition, bearing 149 names, was
submitted to the city council, asking
that the question be referred to the
people of Montevideo. The council
voted 5 to to comply with the re-
quest.
There is no provision in the city
charter for submitting such an issue
to the voters, City Attorney B. ]. Oyen

sent but is merely advisory as an in.

lie, he explained.
A bad precedent will be established
in the granting of petitions for ref
erendum, Mayor Burnip argued, urg-
ing that the petition be denied.

OF their cities which are natural trade
centers. just as the banks and trust
companies have done.
The move of retail Establishments
toward the outside rim of the cities

such sections where land was cheap
to move out of the city lipits entirely.
