Madam, – A lot has been said about the right of the traders to gather on the square in Smithfield on the first Sunday of every month. However, nothing has been mentioned regarding the responsibility of the traders.
As citizens of the State, they have a responsibility not to recklessly endanger others, a responsibility not to litter and a responsibility not to inflict cruelty to animals. As a resident of Smithfield, I can honestly say that the majority of those who take part in the fair do so without regard for my rights as a taxpaying resident of Smithfield and their responsibilities as citizens of this State. – Yours, etc,
