Improvements to the Park
The Columbus Street Railway Company started its plans to construct a new steel trestle bridge to replace the wooden one that went from High Street to Olentangy Park that had been there since the park was opened. It was to be "the finest in size of any in the state" with two tracks instead of one.[1]
Lawsuits
The Olentangy Park Company was sued for $155.19 ($5,419 in 2022) by the Central Union Telephone Company for operating a line during the 1899 and 1900 seasons.[2]
Otto L. Hays and David Mackey, owners of the ball grounds sued the park company over relocating fences on the east and south sides to cut through streets. The fight was said to be over a disagreement over Hays and Mackey wanting to raise the rent of the ball grounds of $1,400 ($48,886 in 2022) and the park refused.[3][4]
