, the coming Fourth of July is to be
~ sane Fourth and dealers in fireworks
~ have asked them to designate what ar
le ticles of that character they may sell, il
u order that they may place their orders
~ but the reply of the bailiffs has beer
' that it is not a question for them to de
~ eide. The law, section 1866 of the Public
- Statutes, says that "a person who has II
!" his possession cracker, squib, serpen
or rocket, with intent to sell or set fir'
~ to the same, or offers to SELL" etc, shall
q be fined not more than so. Section 591
~ prohibits the keeping, selling or givins
90 away of toy pistols, percussion caps o.
: blank cartridges under penalty of a hn'
-, of from IS to $40 and imposes liabilt!
- for damages The position taken by thu
~ bailiffs is that they have no right t
t.. grant privileges forbidden by the stat
~ utes but they call attention to the fac
n' that there are town and state prose
u cutting officers whose duty it is to prose
= cute violations of the law
