Taverns can open Sundays The Abbotsford Common Council voted to repeal a 38-year-old ordinance Monday night which required Sunday morning tavern closing. The repealer will allow all business establishments in Abbotsford with Class B combination malt liquor licenses to be open for business all day Sunday.
The present ordinance, adopted on June 20, 1934, had no penalty provision but did limit the sale of alcoholic beverages on Sundays from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The new rule will go into effect after a repealer ordinance is adopted. All operators with a Class B license were to be notified by Henry Weix, city clerk. City Attorney Frank Nikolay was instructed to prepare the necessary repealer ordinance.
Other business: Councilmen approved the sale of the old White House building in Abbotsford to the TP Printing Co. which is expected to begin operating in the building at the end of this month.
Building permits issued included one to Kramer’s IGA, Abbotsford for an addition to the store. The building permit indicated the addition would cost $50,000.
Another building permit was issued to the TP Printing Co., Abbotsford, for repairs to the White House expected to cost $13,000.
Councilmen warned citizens that anyone who does not follow the directions of the dump attendant as to where garbage is to disposed, will be fined.
