In the absence of the editor last week
the editor pro tenn made serious mistake
in reference to the action of the City
Council GA the petition for the prevention
of the use of fire crackers. Instead of
refusing to pass such an ordinance, as
reported, they simply placed the petition
Oh file and requested the City Attorney
to examine and see if there was not al
ready such an ordinance. This mistake
is accounted for by the fact that the act
ing editor has been out Of the business a
long time. Those regularly in the work
neither lie nor make mistakes.
