Memorial Park Plan Showcases Douglas County Investment
A group of Douglas County men funded Woodland Park east of town to prevent privatization, raising about 17,090 to 18,000 for future Lawrence needs. They offer the city the park at their cost, with half of the money kept for park improvements and a memorial to World War I veterans. The plan envisions a beauty and utility memorial serving current and future veterans, with the city to take over and maintain as a public park and gathering ground.

State Engineer Backs Takeover of All State Roads
Topeka Kan Aug 25 State highway engineer M W Watson says a constitutional amendment will be needed for Kansas to receive about 3 million dollars annually under a pending federal aid road bill Compromise plans would have the national government pay 50 percent of construction with Kansas matching and maintaining roads Watson notes the bill would create a national highway commission to supervise federal aid and require states to designate a portion of roads as state roads eligible for aid Kansas has about 6500 miles and could reach 7500 miles under the bill If a special session occurs a constitutional amendment could go to voters in 1923 otherwise 1924. If federal aid ends no extra funds remain for road building. Watson urges state takeover of all state roads and unified highway planning under state authority
