Fourth of July in Lawrence malgré citywide fireworks ban praised
Editorial notes a citywide ban on fireworks kept injuries and calls down during Independence Day in Lawrence. Despite compliance, police dealt with some violators, debris was limited to county areas, and local groups like the Douglas County Fireworks Assn. aided cleanup. Parade, neighborhood events, and a Jaycees show marked a mostly happy Fourth with calls for stronger enforcement and a safer educational approach next year.
