The sale of kosher and other fresh meat products in Baltimore on Sunday will be prohibited under a proposed ordinance for liberalising the Sunday laws, which is introduced by Mr. Jerome Sloman, Chairman of the Baltimore City Council Blue Law Committee.
Mr. Sloman, who is a Jew, explains that the new law which he has drafted will permit the sale of only prepared food stuffs on Sundays, and will also ban Sunday dancing.
The original liberalising ordinance would have permitted the sale of kosher and other fresh meats on Sundays, as well as dancing after 8 p.m.
The ordinance is to be submitted to a referendum at the primary city elections on May 2nd.
