Rlief is in sight for the kosher butchers of this city whose interests were threatened for a time because of an ordinance adopted by the City Commission last month prohibiting the operating of retail meat markets on Sunday.
The adoption of the ordinance provoked much discussion among the kosher butchers, and, represented by counsel, they appeared at the City Commission meeting this week and urged relief. An amendment was proposed exempting them from the proviisons of the ordinance. The City Commissioners referred the ordinance and the amendment to the City Law Department to be redrafted as a new ordinance in which the amendment will be incorporated. This redrafted ordinance will be brought up at next week’s meeting.
INTERMARRIAGE WRECKS HOMES, FIGURES SHOW
Incompatibility out of the intermarriage of persons of different religions or nationalities was found to be the cause of 40 per cent of the first 500 “broken homes” investigated by New Haven’s Bureau of Domestic Relations, a despatch of the Associated Press states.
These figures were announced by Mrs. Frances L. Roth, Assistant City Attorney in charge of the Bureau, in an address delivered before Vassar’s Institute of Eugenics, which is concludings its first four weeks summer course in the study of family relationships with a symposium on divorce problems. Twenty-five per cent of the cases were due to intemperance on the part of husband or wife, twenty per cent due to inability to meet household expenses and ten per cent to infidelity.
