Action on a proposed city ordinance, pending in the City Council here, has been postponed indefinitely, after the Council decided to experiment with a “voluntary Sunday closing” plan. Discount houses in this city have made a “gentleman’s agreement” to stay closed Sundays “unless forced by competition to do otherwise.”
Meanwhile, a resolution adopted by the Mounds Village Council, in the Duluth suburbs, has declared opposition to enactment of a Sunday closing law. The resolution declared that such a law would “not advance public safety, health or welfare.”
