but it hud done storekeepers no harm mayor armstrong expressed his opinion thut if a certain class of merchants wanted lo stay open and council had the power to grant this lt should be done cr petch said he personally thought a businessman should have freedom to decide what hours he wants to work and that it is get ting too much like russia if the taw tells jiim he can t be open however councils hands are tied by the municipal act he feels merchants have made a mistake in asking for saturday closing and that they will find a great differ ence in farm trade hivc marshall spoke strongly against allowing any exemptions in ths face ol 0 wanting a certain thing he said it was beyond any member of council to classify most stores as belonging to one class of business and that to start granting exemptions would throw the whole question wide open again thefs was a big protest from farmers a lew years ago when wednesday open night was abolished ht said but times hnc changed and you find farmers in town every day of the cck cr mcgilvray believes it is com pletely a businessmens problem he had voted for the first motlqh because council was forced to pass it the municipal act says

islons of the bylaw a petition from clarence bain to exempt variety stores did not find a mover and seconder a petition from maccormacks drugs asked exemption for drug stores but as the municipal act says more than onethird must sign it was ruled insufficient several merchants attended the meeting as well as solicitor k m langdon who had been asked to be available for legal opinion mayor armstrong said at the opening ot the meeting that he had the bylaw on the table but before it was introduced he invit ed anyone present to have their ay on a contentious subject he felt that council should not have to decide such an issue but it is clearly stated in the municipal act that a bylaw shall be passed it 75o of the merchants petition for it percy snxe mrs d livingstone graham farnoll and albert
