This morning a petition was cir Ieulated among the retail fireworks dealers, and before noon it had been Isigned by over thirty-fiye dealers, all of whom protested against the order igoing into effect this year.

We are willing next year to do all in our power to stop the sale of these things if they are ob- jectionable to the city government" = In the afternoon the committee laid the facts before the executive commit tee of the New Haven Business Mems association.
