Those grousing murmurs regarding the ornamental lighting proposal for the business district at Crenshaw and Manchester Boulevards will be formally heard on January 2 in City Council Chambers. At issue are the costs for the bulbage, a hefty $6.10 per foot frontage for business owners.

Ferdinand is dead. He ran five miles in his flight for freedom before police bullets cut him down. He escaped at 3811 S. Soto, and lurched through traffic, pursued by three police cars and Officer R.S. Saveley on a three-wheeled motorcycle.
As he ran through downtown, he shoved Neda Feathersone against a building at 8th Street and South Spring. She was taken to the Georgia Street Receiving Hospital for treatment.
He went up Spring Street to 1st Street, by The Times Building, then turned right on 1st to Main and over to Alameda. Near Union Station, he hit William F. Willaims, who was treated by an ambulance crew.
Finally, police cornered Ferdinand on West Ann Street, north of downtown.
The 1,000-pound bull charged officers and Saveley shot him to death.
