Old Hometown in 1855 Reflections From Kansas Free State Papers
A Kansas Free State weekly excerpt discusses if Kansas and Nebraska can remain free from slavery, criticizing proslavery politicians and urging northern emigration. It contrasts with Lawrence Daily Journal entries about 1900 university work resuming, paving rock for electric railway lines, horse incidents, and a county official transition. Also notes 1925 Lawrence beautification via underground conduits and student petitions concerning Chancellor Lindley.

Congestion pricing arrives in New York amid debate
Froma Harrop reports that New York has adopted congestion pricing after years of debate. Midtown Manhattan faces peak hour charges starting around nine dollars per car with higher fees for trucks and lower for taxis, funded to improve the subway and reduce gridlock. Critics from politicians to educators claim the plan harms communities of color, while supporters cite time savings, cleaner air, and economic benefits for Manhattan and subway riders.
