Harrison township refuses license for Rockwood Park dance hall
The Harrison township board of trustees in Franklin county yesterday refused to renew the license for Ed Nelson to operate the Rockwood Park dance hall near Ottawa. The decision followed petitions for and against renewal, with officials citing concerns about undesirables from Lawrence and Kansas City and nightly drinking at the hall. Nelson planned to close the hall briefly and aim to reopen in spring, while he defends his reputation against circulating slanderous stories and has offered rewards for proof of libel.
