Description

Photograph used for a newspaper owned by the Oklahoma Publishing Company. Caption: "Document: Hill-Cutlines: "This is four maps in one picturing the tangled knot yet to be untied by the city council to enable the city school board to develop old Fair park as a Negro educational site. Inclosed in the heavy dotted line at center of map are the 26.65 acres of the park originally
sold by the city to the school board for $450,000. With that money, the
city started acquiring a part of the new fairgrounds site at NW 10 and May. Later, in conferences with Negro leaders interested in their new educational
site, the school board proposed, to sell back to the city their portion of
the same tract shown by the shaded area within the heavy dotted line, for
$284,058. The board proposed to keep the 7.65 acres shown in white
within the heavy dotted line, and buy from the city the corner of Fair park
shown in white at the left of the heavy dotted line. This includes the
grandstand area, and the board offered to pay the same for it as the city
pays for the shaded area shown within the heavy dotted line. In addition,
the city would get or keep title to all the heavy black shaded buildings
in both tracts, and also keep the remainder of the park shown by the shading. The council now has the proposal under consideration."
