Co lli IRTY-FIFTl I YEAR. NORTH PLATTE, NEB, FKBHUAKY 21, 1919. No. 12-V A rKOllAHLE ISSUK FOB THE CITV SPJtlXU I'AMIMIGX A probable Issue 'In tho qlty elec tion In April materialized at the meeting of tho city council Tuesday evening when an. ordinance was In troduced permitting "plcturo shows to oporato on Sunday. The ordinunce, in accordance with the usual proced ure, pvns road for tho llrst tlmo, and then laid ovor for two weeks for a second reading, nnd thence later to come up for a third introduction and for pnssago or rejection. Tho Inclination of the council is to put tho proposition up to a voto of tho people at tho April election and will probably suggest to the picture houso owners that they got up a petition asking that tho question bo submitted to a voto at that time. This is prob ably a more satisfactory method than to have tho council act on tho matter, for it givos tho people the right to express themselves as to whether or not they want Sunday plcturo shows. It is, true that In many towns and cities In tho state the shows open on Sunday, but whether such action Is looked upon with favor by a majori ty of our people remains to bo seen. ::o:: Xotlce for Sammy Girls.
