The general opinion among the business men seems to be that the plan could not TJOssIbly be a success unless every merchant in Evanston, including thoi agree to keep closed. From the information gathered by those investigating the conditions it has been learned that the business men cannot come to an agreement as to the afternoon to shut their doors. The afternoon that would suit one merchant is the busy day for the^nan next door.
