Old Home Town – 100 years ago
From the Lawrence Daily World for Sept. 6, 1907: “The city council has passed a resolution requiring monthly tests for city water, and then immediate public knowledge about those reports. A scientist will be employed to handle the situation so that all the rumors can be answered about the status of our water, which has been found polluted and with bacteria from time to time. : Kansas University will probably draw a larger number of students from Kansas City this year than it ever has before. Many Missourians seem to prefer KU to the Missouri state university and the number of them coming here is predicted to grow steadily due to the caliber of the university in Lawrence.”
