AN ORDINANCE
Whereas the parctice [sic.] of firing guns and pistols in the
town of San Francisco and vicinity, already prohibited in
the general order of the late Com’dt of the district, is
not observed and in consequence persons have been in-
juried and others endangered, while pursuing their neces-
sary occupations.—
It is therefore ordered that from and after the publica-
tion of this ordinance, any person or persons who shall
discharge any fire arms within one mile of the Public
square, shall be found on conviction therefore, the sum of
twenty dollars for each and every offence—one half of
which shall be paid to the person proving the same.
As the police of the town is under the supervision of the
Com’dt of the Garrison, any person wishing to discharge
their arms, will apply to him for permission so to do.
WASH’N A. BARTLETT,
Chief Magistrate.
