From the Lawrence Daily World for May 3, 1908: There appears to be no reason why the city of Baldwin should not have extensive street improvements nor why Lawrence should not have more and better sidewalks. The quarterly report shows Baldwin has more than ample money and that the Lawrence sidewalk fund is overdrawn by only 10 cents at this point. . . . The governor seems to be making a mountain out of a molehill in his complaints about unequal funding for state schools. Our university should get by far the most funding because it is easily the largest.
