Several days ago. two 16-year-oid youths were arrested on charges of violating the ordinance respecting Fireworks. Their cases were nolled fin city court, but they were warned that future violations would mean a heavy penalty.
 All patrolmen on street duty have been instructed to make arrests ln case of any violations. They have been told to arrest any storekeepers found selling any explosives.
 The ordinance, adopted November 10, 1930, provides a penalty of up to $50 for each violation.
 Waterburys annual fourth of July accident toll has been sub stantially reduced since the adop- tion of the ordinance seven and half years ago. Previously, with sale of fireworks being unrestricted, there were fatalities and numerous injuries resulting from fireworks each year.
 No additional warnings will be given, Superintendent Roach said, and anyone selling or using fire works will be arrested and presented in court.
