Many others haven't even that big a place to keep Ice. More over, I have information the muniei- j pal ice stations will not be kept open j on Sunday. Otherwise I would favor | giving the ice men their Sundays off) the year around.” There was no second to the amend ment made by Butler. "If people must have ice on Sunday they can get it at any of the plants,” argued Commissioner Hopkins. "It's cheaper, too. But by buying a little larger quantity on Saturday they will have enough to last.” Aged Woman Declares She, Not Her Husband, Broke Law It was a question of bootlegging or losing their home, their only posses slop, Mrs. Charles Westergard, 78, pioneer Omahan, 1036 South Twenty third street.
