Matches in each household should be kept in a covered earthen or metal receptacle, or in matchboxes on the wall. Children under ten years of age should not be permitetd to play with or use matches of any kind. The use of safety matches to the exclusion of all other varieties of matches 1s recommended, These regulations for the sale of matches are proposed: License must be had for the keeping of matches in bulk. Licenses to be issued at $0 each from the office of ¢he Fire Commissioners. Permits for the torage and sale of matches to issue at a cost of $1 per permit, from the office of the Fire Commissione! No matches shall be stored in build- ings wherein inflammable materials are kept. This section includes gunpowder, dynamite and fireworks. Wholesale dealers may carry 3,500 match mens’ gross of matches, to be sold in original package only.
