Sounded Out
On Lighting

Following refusal by the City
Council Monday night to assume the
cost of erecting Christmas lighting
decorations in the shopping section
Of the city, a group of business men
today called on a number of mer-
chants to learn their attitude toward
helping finance the project. 1t was
expected that by this afternoon or
Friday it would be known whether
or not the vari-colored electrical
displays would again this year
adorn the shopping section during
the Christmas season.
Several hundred dollars will be
required to finance the electrical
decorations, and if the displays are
10 be arranged the money will have
to be raised privately On behalf OF
the merchants, the Chamber Of
commerce requested the Council
Monday night 10 take over the pro-
Ject, but the Council refused on the
81 ound it did not have the funds.
In any event, it appeared that the
decorations this Christmas Will not
9e on quite an elaborate a scale as
heretofore. The greenery that has
Deen draped ABOUT the white way
standards and from pole to pole will
likely be the portion to be aban-
doned if there should be lack Of
funds.
All of the wiring necessary for
,he decorations is in hand, and is
the property of the buIineSS people.
It will be necessary to replace some
Of the bulbs that naturally are
