City seeks to relax fireworks ordinance and modify limits
The Lawrence city commissioners are urged to liberalize the current ordinance prohibiting fireworks and explosives. The decision hinges on how far the present law should be changed, given past conditions now largely faded and the likelihood that a return to open use on the Fourth of July is unlikely. A broader revision could alter enforcement and public safety considerations. The second story notes Kansas City authorities issuing injunctions against twenty one spots described as corn whisky hangouts, including padlocked sites and recurring raids, highlighting ongoing liquor control efforts in the area.
