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.
