FIREWORRs.
Henry Eickhoff, chairman Of the COM
mittee on fireworks, made preliminary re-
mort which caused considerable discussion
Mr. Eickhoff said that in order to give fine
display Of pyTotecnnlcs and to eclipse
former attempts IN that direction some S5UOO
would be required.
The question then arose as to whether
there should be one, two or three eXhi-
billions of fireworks.
John A. Steinbach spoke at length and
said that usually the fireworks are a dismal
failure, because they are too much divided
and not enough money Is allowed TO make
an appropriate display. He thought $500
or 5000 ought TO be set aside for two exhibit
tons in widely separated sections Of the
city. North Beach the speaker considered
entitled to the first consideration, because
the citizens of that section provided fine
display last year and paid for il themselves.
1t was decided, on motion, that the COM
mittee be instructed to give two displays Of
fireworks at places hereafter TO be de-
cided On,
