Court suit seeks to bar park use for 1903 world’s fair
In St Louis Circuit Court a suit seeks to restrain the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company from using Forest Park as the world’s fair site in 1903. Filed by Henry H. Wordes and John F. Bergman, leaders of the Workingmen’s Protective Association, the petition claims the ordinance violates the city charter and residents’ rights. The plaintiffs allege the city would be leasing park land to a private corporation for its profit, making the city a partner in the venture. They contend the 15,000 bonds approved to fund the fair show the city’s partnership and expected gain from leasing the park.
