make BELLE ISLE
F|RECRACKER ZONE
Mayor Thompson Has Scheme For
Gathering Fourth" Celebrators
! In Open Space.

I A frecracker colony on Belle Isle!
That's the very latest suggestion
that comes from the city hall, and II
emanates right from the mayors Of
fee, too.
"Dr. Obetz called me up the other
day and made suggestion which
thought might be worth considering"
said the mayor. ''It Is simply this:
Let the city set aside a part OF the
open space on Belle Isle, In the
vicinity of the old bicycle shelter, as
o sort OF frecracker zone. Let the
merchants come there and pitch their
tents and sell firecrackers, toy pistols,
caps. torpedoes, fireworks and other
things that go with a Fourth OF July
celebration and let those who want to
celebrate In that way have all the
fun they want right there. The police
could have men on hand to preserve
order and, OF course, there would have
TO be q hospital tent and q corps OF
doctors to look after any little acct
dents. The doctor thinks IL would re.
duce the danger from fires and injury
to an absolute minimum and there
may be, some merit In the plan Any
way, Ii will probably be brought TO
the attention of the ordinance com
mittee, which now has the sane
Fourth ordinance under considera-
tion.''
Just how the natives would take to
this segregation plan is a question
that will have to be decided by feel
ing out the public sentiment. Mayor
Thompson appears to take the stfg
gestion seriously.
