SO many fireworks have oeen seized

city ~ IL wished could have . fne dis
play m the Fourth OF July. More than
5000 worth OF nrecrackers. Roman oan-
dies. skyrockets. pinwheels and all the
other noise making and eye delishtirg
devices OF the Glorious Fourth. were
seized in all sorts Of stores In the city
yesterday. M up to this afternoon
more than $500 worth OF fireworks had
been seized In 400 shops.
one OF these places was a department
store which had a ~,ruckload OF explo-
sives on sale. Every f~recracher. pin
wheel and Roman candle was tossed
into n big powder wagon and taken to
Riker's Island to be fred on by a few
men who will ave all this hne cclebra-
ton TO themselves
The reason for all these seizures is
that In all the Greater New York only
one permit has been issued by the Fire
Department for the sale Of fireworks.
This means. as Commissioner Johnston
has explained. that only one maker
or would-be seller Of explosives OF any
kline in this city has complied with the
law relating 10 the sale OF such fun
makers.
There has been n big business in
smuggling fireworks into the various
shops to be sold either on the sly or In
the hope that the inspectors OF the Blu.
reau OF Combustibles wouldn't como
round
But Commissioner Johnston sent ten
Inspectors around and they found the
explosives by the hundreds.
The dreaded inspector will be the
