At the krst meeting of the town council a petition was submitted signed by practically all the grocers and butâ€" chers in the town. Many more signaâ€" tures were on the petition than the 105 per cent of the total number in the particular line of business concerned. The law requires that 75 per cent. of all in any line of business must petiâ€" tion for the early closing before a by4 law can be passed to close any one such line of business. That was why the former plans for a byâ€" law had to be dropped. In the case of the grocery and meat store men, there were about 90 per cent. signing the request for the Wednesday halfâ€" _holiday the year around.. Accordâ€" ingly the Council agreed to the deâ€" sired byâ€"law. The byâ€"law will be drawn up, and no doubt passed by the next meeting of the town council, which will be on Oct. 28th. In the meantime the stores will all have the right to stay open until the byâ€"law is actually passed and goes into effect. After the passing of the byâ€"law, it will be illegal for any grocery or meat shop in Timmins to keep open on Wednesday afternoons, the yearâ€" round, except in December. It is the intention to have petitions signed by the other stores in each particular line and byâ€"laws duly passed for the early closing on Wednesdays of all stores in each particular line. â€"Those interested believe they <will get so many signatures that it will not be worth the while of anybody to keep» open on the nights that the grocery, meat and other stores are closed.
