75 Years Ago No action has as yet been taken by the city administration on the purchase of the Mayfair factory site on North Detroit Street and the shores of Center Lake for park ground. The Lake City Bank asks $3,500 for the 200 feet frontage, but Mayor C.C. DuBois and the city officials think this sum is too high. The tract is just north of Levin junk yard, and the Bixler Park bought several years ago.
