The police department was called upon several times Saturday night to quell pre-holiday celebrations. Most of the disturbances created, it is said, were due to fireworks and the shooting of blank cartridges.
Police Chief W.F. Doby is calling attention to the fact that there is a city ordinance prohibiting the shooting of fireworks in the city limits. The police have been instructed to see to it that the ordinance is enforced.
