Sunday Ordinance to Be Tested in Higher Court
Camden's so-called liberal Sunday ordinance is to be carried to a higher court to test its validity. Harry C. Kramer, as counsel for Louis Weisban, of Twenty-eighth street and Polk avenue, made that announcement yesterday, when his client was fined $10 by Recorder Stackhouse for selling a scrub brush and some soap powder last Sunday to Policeman Harry G. Newton, who acted under instruction from Chief of Police Gravenor.
Attorney Kramer asserted the ordinance is class legislation and absurd, in that it permits the sale of tobacco, cigars, etc., on the Sabbath, while bread, butter and other necessities are tabooed.
