Fort Wayne prosecutor J M Robinson urges a January 18 house bill mirroring Ohio and Illinois junk law provisions. The draft would require junk buyers to keep books with article descriptions, buyers, and sale sources, open to officers, ban purchases from youths after hours, and impose fines for violations.
