Firing Of Fireworks
Allowed in Sections
OF Prince Georges
They Muy Be Shot Off
In Communities Which
Have LocuI Lows

State and local law enforcement
officials came to an agreement on
the sale of explosive fireworks in
Prince Georges County today, de-
Gliding that fireworks may be sold
and shot off in communities which
have local laws on the subject.
Under new State regulations, sale
and use of explosive fireworks is
banned. except for community cele-
brations, in all other sections OF
the State.
Deputy Charles Stallings from the
Office of State Insurance Commits
sioner John B. Centrum in Balti-
more visited Prince Georges County
last night and asked cooperation
of volunteer fire companies in Cap
Itol Heights, Bladensburg and Seat
Pleasant in warning purchasers OF
the provisions of the new State reg
ulations.
States Attorney A. Gwynn Bowie
explained yesterday that he would
not prosecute for the sale or use of
fireworks within the limits of COM
munities exempted from the new
State law because they have their
own regulations on the question. He
said that either the sale or use of
explosive fireworks outside the limits
of such communities, however, would
be punishable by a fine up to $500
upon conviction. Earlier, Mr.. Con-
trum claimed he' could not prohibit
the sale in those localities, but would
prohibit the shooting off of any
fireworks purchased.
Town Commissioner George Rein
bold of Cottage City, which is one
of the exempted communities. said
that no permits were being issued
for sale of fireworks in that town.
He denied published reports that the
Cottage City firemen were selling
fireworks.
