ally very much disappointed with the
way the privilege to use fireworks
has been abused during the celebra-

in permitting the sale OF fireworks 8
was to allow the children a safe and
sane way in which to celebrate In
dependence day. This privilege, ex-
tended to the children. was abused by
certain people, both residents of
Alexandria and non-residents. I feel

should be given careful considera-
