Clarify Blue Laws

Judge George M. Coles of
the Charlottesville Corporation
Court has given the General
Assembly an opportunity to
clarify state Blue Laws before
they hear a request that 36
Charlottesville stores be
enjoined from violating the
statutes.

Because most of the city's
supermarket and drug stores
have been charged with blue
law violation, the legislature is
expected to take action at this
session. Judge Coles' court will
then act accordingly at the first
docket call after the General
Assembly adjourns.
