November 8th:
Tallahassee, Nov. Tn an inter
view with Jerry w. Carter, state ho-
tel commissioner, this morning that
official made known his desire and in
tentionto protect the general public
at state and county fair& circuses and
carnivals. To this end Mr.. Carter has
under the authority granted him by
law adopted and promulgated certain
rules and regulations governing res
taurants, lunch stands and other eat
ing places at such fairs, circuses, car
nivals, etc. He believes that proper
enforcement of these reasonable rules
and regulations will make the public
perfectly safe in patronizing any of
the stands at such places of amuse-
ment, and emphasizes the fact that
not only is the public in favor of the
adoption and enforcement of the rules,
but that the concessionaries them
selves are willing and anxious that
the same be made and followed.
Mr.. Carter expects to be present
personally at the State Fair in Jack
sonville this month and will have per-
sonal supervision of the enforcement
of the rules and regulations which,
however, will have equal application
to all fairs, circuses and carnivals
held thruout the states 1t is believed
that the adoption of these regulations
is a long step towards the safety of
the public, and one which will receive
universal commendation.
