Opinions Favor Monday Closing At Prince Comment in .the Prince George Citizen would seem to indicate that the private citizens of that city are in favour of a proposed Plan of store hours there that would see these firms close on Mondays instead of Wednesdays, providing longer week- ends for workers. A petition circulated among the merchants resulted in 86 percent signifying approval of the idea. A petition has been presented to the city council, asking that the present by-law. governing store hours be amended. It will be necessary for a referendum to be voted upon by the electorate. ze Under the new plan stores would open at 8:30 a.m. weekdays, except Mondays, and remain open until $:20 p.m. Saturdays.
