The additional illumination was
sgitated three years ago by the
Chamber of Commerce and Fedora

cost about $4,000.
"The public wanst the improve

to them. But the city council will
have to do it's part first. The pres

the Circle is in violation of State
law. We could obtain an injunction
against the city, but we don't want
to start anything. The most peace
able folks in Indianapolis are run

Col. Perry said the attorney gen.

the city ordinance is in conflict with
