Topeka to Lease Shawnee County Fair Grounds for Park Use
County commissioners weigh leasing the Shawnee county fair grounds to the city of Topeka for park and state fair purposes for up to 99 years under a recent council resolution. The measure, prompted by a new state act, aims to end ongoing county expenses and a so called white elephant site, with a vote likely at an upcoming meeting. Also notes British dispatch locating General De Wet in the Orange River Colony region and a string of bank robberies in Iowa during November.
