A Public Nuisance

By Editor

A PUBLIC NUISANCE.—Many years ago a city ordinance was enacted in Boston, Mass., forbidding smoking in the public streets, and making the offender subject to arrest and fine. Although the law has never been repealed, still standing on the statute books, it is rarely enforced now-a-days, though a Boston gentleman informed us some time since that a few years ago he saw a man arrested and fined for smoking on the streets. The law is a good one, and ought to be enforced everywhere.
