Mayor Bowen Tells Police
to Arrest All Who Shoot
Firecrackers.

Mayor Anthony Bowen has issued
an order to the police informing them
that it is an offense punishable with
fine to put off any dangerous explo
sives upon or within any Of the streets
or alleys or public grounds Of the city
which shall annoy or endanger any
person whether done with intent to
disturb the peace or not. He has al
so ordered the police to arrest all who
they discover violating this law.
The order was issued as a warning
to any who will attempt to shoot fire
crackers on the streets of the cit5
on the Fourth Of July. Because Of
the scarcity of powder. it is desirable
to prevent the waste of"itas much as
possible.
Mayor Bowen had intended to have
a Fourth of July celebration for all
foreigners in an effort to educate them
in the spirit of '76 and to what
same spirit means in the present
struggle. But on account Of the Dec
Grafton Day demonstration, he has
decided to attempt no public demon
stration this year.
