Lax Enforcement
Fireworks Regulations.

WIDESPREAD failure to enforce
the local regula tions against
the firing of fireworks is charged
against the police and parents.
Especially in the outlying sections
there was kept up an almost con-
slant firing through Saturday,
Sunday and Monday with little. if
any interference from the police.
Law-abiding parents who en-
forced the regulations on their
children were considered unduly
harsh by their offspring, because
In their very neighborhood more
lberal-minded parents permitted
the purchase and firing OF the
prohibited explosives. The unfor-
tunate effect Of this laxity of en-
forcement really placed a premium
upon parents who connived the
violation Of the law and at the
same time held up to scorn these
loyal citizens who are law observers.
The District long ago became
thoroughly sold" on the safe and
sane celebration OF Independence
day. For the old promiscuous cele-
bration by young America with the
attendant serious injuries and fires,
there was substituted the safe and
sane method. Well organized COM
munity and neighborhood cele-
brations were arranged, including
the firing Of fireworks in the eve
ning-a task usually performed by
experts supplied by the fireworks
manufacturer.
Prior to this great change Of
years ago, Independence day pre-
sented one Of the most serious
Of civic problems. The safe and
sane celebration has been a
very happy solution Of the problem
and has resulted In 4 great reduce
ton in the amount Of bodily in
juries. fatalities and heavy work
for the Fire Department.
The existing restrictive regula-
tions appear to meet with general
approval in civic organization
circles. From recent discussions of
this question in small civic groups
the present problem appears to be
the requiring Of the enforcement
Of the regulations in every section
Of the District, with neither fear
nor favor. Numerous expressions
Of opinion have been heard to the
effect that pointed appeals for OBJ
servence Of the law which might
be issued by the District Commits
sioners and the chief OF police
prior to Independence day would
bring satisfactory results.
