The Law Explained

During the booming granite-mining era, Barre was full of dust-covered laborers. A local public health ordinance supposedly required everyone to scrub down at least once a week—specifically on Saturday night—so they were presentable for Sunday church. Good hygiene was evidently a matter of civic duty.
