Fairbank Park May Resume Busines as Before
Fairbank summer park at Illinois and Fall Creek may resume operations this season without the litigation that has opposed it for two years. Lewis sold his nearby property to the Erwin Company for 4000 dollars, clearing a path for the park run by Crawford, Fairbank and the Terre Haute brewing company. While damages suits remain, fights over liquor sales and injunctions tied to Lewis’s ownership are expected to end with the property transfer, paving the way for a return to pre dispute activity and possibly more park-related developments along Capitol and Illinois streets.
