A pertinent topic for the Considera-
tion of the Norfolk city council and
one that would have the approval of
a large majority of the taxpayers,

use of the blank cartridge pistol and
the giant firecracker. The Fourth of
July just passed has given evidence
of several violations of the privilege
and it is the several accidents that
will govern those who use discretion

tolls and few small crackers, and the

as much fun as they if the law says

of step from the blank cartridge pis-
tol to the blank shot gun, and surely
this step would be vigorously objected
to. While the mood is on the coun-
