From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Mar. 1, 1911:

• “J. C. Walton favors working the twenty-five convicted bootleggers on the paved streets of Lawrence. He would divide them into one or two squads under a guard and compel them to clean and wash the streets until their sentences have expired. It is the custom of many states to work their felons on roads, and the commissioner believes similar advantage should be taken of the county prisoners.”
• “There has been no coasting on Indiana street since the snow. Because of the immense number of serious accidents earlier in the winter the police concluded to forbid coasting, and a cop has visited the long hill every night to keep bobs off its surface.”
• “Wm. Evans, the aviator, returned from Kansas City last night and will remain in Lawrence until weather conditions permit him to give his series of aerial flights. He is determined to fly before removing his bi-plane from this city, even if it becomes necessary to scrape enough snow off Woodland park to permit the necessary start.”
