Open Letter to the Citizens
March 11,1970
The Mayor and members of City Council have re
ceived numerous complaints from concerned citizens
with regard to children using BB and pellet guns indis
criminately within the city limits.
We would therefore remind parents that they would
be held liable for any injury to a citizen or damage to
personal property; and we would encourage parents to
caution their children in safe practices and use of these
guns. Failure to comply with this request would most
likely result in passage of an ordinance prohibiting the
use of these guns in the City.
Your cooperation and assistance in complying with
this request will be greatly appreciated.
MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL
