Bradford City Council Bans Carnival Showings
Bradford votes to ban carnival shows within the city in its final 1949 session, amid controversy over a summer carnival sponsored by the local American Legion Post that involved gambling. The measure aims to curb disturbances while local merchants promote new wool blankets and other goods. The report notes recent incidents, legal actions, and city elections upcoming for 1950.
