We should go one step further and ban fireworks," agreed Alderman Ben Nobleman. . Controller James Trimbee maintained that the borough ran a firework display (Festival Day) successfully. ‘"To ban because somebody was killed would be irresponsible," he said. ‘‘Move slowly in this regard," cautioned Controller Douglas Saunders. "In my neighâ€" borhood it‘s a tradition to have firework displays in the backyard. To ban fireworks would hurt people." Alderman Cy Townsend stated council should study the problem and that fireworks displays should be organized. Mr. Townsend did favor not selling fireworks in the stores. ‘‘You just have to look at what happened," said Mr. Bosa. ‘"If it happens only once in 15 years that‘s once too often." "It‘s a question of proper control," said Alderman Michael Waclawski. ‘"I‘m in favor of banning. The only proper place to let fireworks off is Centennial Park, where you have crowd control." Alderman Fergus Brown said the coronor‘s jury recommendations were excellent. ‘"We won‘t come up with much better." A committee has been formed to establish more stringent controls over organized firework displays. And council rejected a weeks to see if the TT.C. would request the meeting.

"A hazard exists with the streetcar tracks on Rogers Road," said Mr. Gallichan. ‘‘There is a very dire need for action now â€" not ten years from now." Controller Douglas Saunders maintained that the T.T.C. was doing something and had announced to the press it‘s intention to convert Rogers Road to buses.
