Commissioner Cline - informed the Commission of attending a meeting which was not City Business, but had attended a meeting in Austin with Mr. Cline, who was sent by the Commissioners Court regarding fire works in unincorporated areas in Harris County. Harris County would like to be able to control the sale of fire works in unin- corporated areas in some way. Commissioner Cline suggested that all cities in Harris County should support this. As vice-president of Region 14 of TML, she felt that it would be a project that might be a worthwhile project for presentation by the Directors of TML. She further stated that when they got out of their meeting, they were told .that this bill would be dead as soon as it reached the Senate because of the money behind it. Since Harris County has no inforcement to prevent the sale of fire works in unin- corporated areas, it makes it doubly hard on cities.
