Park control proposed for plaza streets near memorial
Henry Steeg urged relinquishment of control over streets around the Indiana World War Memorial Plaza to the park board to regulate surrounding property use. The State Life Insurance Company seeks a miniature golf course on the former Shortridge site, opposed by city officials due to the amusement’s nature.
