Description
The right of a municipality to enact and enforce ordinances relative to the observance of Sunday must be delegated, if it exists, by the Legislature. Municipal corporations have no inherent police powers and can exercise only those conferred by statute. Kass v. Hedgepeth, 226 N.C. 405, 38 S.E.2d 164; Phodes, Inc., v. Raleigh, 217 N.C. 627, 9 S.E.2d 389; S. v. Dannenberg, 150 N.C. 799, 63 S.E. 946; S. v. Ray, 131 N.C. 814, 42 S.E. 960; McQuillin, Municipal Corporations, Third Edition, Volume 6, Section 24.189, page 768, et seq. It is well settled, in view of the increasing scope of municipal power for the benefit of the public that the police power is as extensive as may be required for the protection of the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the people. Turner v. New Bern, 187 N.C. 541, 122 S.E. 469, citing {PA}
