<br />
<br />A communication ~rom the F. W. Woolworth Co. requesting an amendment
<br />16 to Ordinance #8748, allowing the sale of cap guns, was submitted and read as
<br />follows: .
<br />
<br />:1 "Referring to Ordinance #8748 which amends Ordinance #8612, relating
<br />! to pr.ohibition of sales of cap guns,' in parti,cular, the writer- especially wishes
<br />it to be, made clear that we have no ob,jection whatever. In fact, we heartily
<br />approve the balance of this, ord.inance, as pertains, to caps, fireworks, of every
<br />kind, however., we feel the matter of cap guns is rathe,r in,consistent and pena-
<br />lizes a number of locaL merchants, who are poss,ibly discriminated 'against in this
<br />: respect. We would call to your attention that, practically every boy in town
<br />I already has at least one cap gun; "Buck Rogers" or, similar" being, the most popular.
<br />I They play with them all the time, wi thout caps - (Which.,are usually not. available
<br />anyway.) Where do they buy them?-in, "fringe" stores, Springfield and neighboring
<br />towns, or mail order or they receive.them as birthday presents from relatives in
<br />oth,er towns, that, do- permit sale of thes,e guns.
<br />
<br />Airguns, B-B guns, etc. are more dangerous, but they are being sold
<br />and fired, in the City right now.
<br />
<br />On behalf of the mer.chants, in ,the, vari,ety field, ,espec.ially, we
<br />respect,fully ask th,e Common Council to re:-consider Ordinance #8748 and would
<br />suggest that "cap guns" be stricken from this ordinance, the balance of the
<br />ordinance being l.eft. "as is!' and enforced.
<br />
<br />We' would, mention tha.t caps and, fir,eworks. cannot go, thr.ough the ma ils .
<br />I so usually are not available, to the boys. They-just like to play with. the guns,
<br />! probably as you men used, to. Also we would. ment10n tha.t. most of us" merchants
<br />I would not carry caps and fireworks anyway -the ";riI'e and damage risk is too great
<br />") ana in our particular instance (F. W. Woolworth Co.:) our insurance prohibits same."
