Lawrence residents vote on Tuesday August 1 in a special election to decide whether to issue an additional 80000 to fully finish the police and fire building at Ninth and Kentucky. Officials say costs have risen since the 1946 bond of 325000 and that total cost to finish with outfitting is about 405000. If the bond fails, finishing would proceed in a reduced scope but space and cement would limit progress.
