St. Louis Sunday Grocery Ordinance Challenged

THE validity of a recently enacted city ordinance in St. Louis, requiring grocery stores to be closed after nine o'clock Sunday morning, is to be determined in a court of record. No more arrests for violations will be made by the police department until the matter is decided. Judge Pollard, of the police court, pronounced the ordinance unconstitutional. He cited Supreme Court decisions which held lemons to be a necessity. The police judge contended that other articles sold in grocery stores were as necessary as lemons. It will be interesting to watch the developments.
