10 FIRECRACKERS:
On account of the warm, dry wea
»
th<>r, which is promised for tomorrow,
the city authorities have announced
their int< ,,tion of strictly enforcing
the city otdinance which forbids the
explosion of firecrackgers, etc., with
in the city limits.
"For the past several years,” said
Mayor Slater this morning, "the wea
ther on the Fourth of July has been
very wet, and no attention has been
paid to the enforcement of the ordi
nance. With the coming of warm
weather, however, the fire risk is so
greatly increased that a rigid enforce
ment of the ordinance has been
deemed prudent. The ordinance fol
lows:
“Section 1. That whoever shall fire
or discharge within the limtis of the
Town of Cordova, any gun, cannon,
pistol, revolver or any fire arms of
any description, or shall fire or ex
plode or set off any squib, firecracker,
torpedo, or other thing containing
powder or other explosive material,
except by the written permission of
the Common Council of said Town of
Cordova, shall, on conviction, he fined
in a sum not less than five ($5.00
dollars, nor more than one hundred
($100.00) dollars, or imprisoned not
more than thirty (SO) days in the town
'Jail, or by both such fine and impris
onment.”
