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.

In addition, the city would own title to the buildings shown in black in the white area for any salvage. Originally the Negroes bought the area in the center of the tract for their school, outlined with the broken black line. They gave $450,000 for the 26.65 acres. The city used the money to start buying the new site for the fair at NW 10 and May. Then the Negroes decided they'd rather have their school fronting on North Eastern, and NE 10.
