Lawrence to seek city funds for Teddy Roosevelt Fountain repairs
Lawrence city commissioners may cover part of a 47 400 dollar renovation plus 1500 to 2500 for survey work to restore the Teddy Roosevelt Fountain in South Park. The fountain, once a horses trough placed at Ninth and New Hampshire, was dedicated in 1910 by Theodore Roosevelt. It has not operated in about a decade, despite restorations in 1985 and a 1965 rededication. Local flower and garden clubs will raise private funds to fill gaps.
