At a regular meeting of the borough | council of DuBois last week, Burgess Moore was asked for an opinion from eouncil as te the matter of permitting the use of fire crackers on the Fourth of July. The councilmen were anani- mous in the opinion that the boys _shouid be given the privilege and that ' their patriotism should not be curbed, except that they should use due cantion tn prevent accidents and fires. The ordinance relating to the use of fre works was referred to for informa- tion as to whether the privilege could be granted, when it was learned t could upon any occasion desired, and on motion the burgess was. authorized to ase his own discretion regarding the granting of the privilege on the Fourth. He stated that he favored granting the privilege, and also asked for an .indi- vidual opinion rom the councilmen. The members of council were unani- mous, is stated, and the boys can go abead and shoot for at least one any.
