Electrical fire in roof forces local restaurant to close
A fire early Monday morning left Jefferson's Restaurant, 743 Massachusetts St., out of business.
According to a press release, the Lawrence-Douglas County Fire & Medical Department responded to a call for the fire at Jefferson's at 12:15 a.m. Monday. When firefighters arrived, they found smoke coming from the roof, where the fire was mostly contained. Fire crews brought the fire under control by 1:34 a.m.
Mark Bradford, deputy chief for the department, said the cause of the fire was electrical and the restaurant sustained minor smoke and water damage. Bradford estimated the damage to the restaurant was $150,000.
Lawrence Memorial Hospital treated minor injuries of one firefighter and then released him.
Randy Mcintosh,manager at Jefferson's, said the restaurant would have to wait until the restoration company assessed the damage before it determined how long it would be closed.
"It could be two weeks, it could be a month," he said. "We really don't know."
Businesses next to Jefferson's were affected as well.
Sabrina Houseman, an employee at Maurice's, 739 Massachusetts St., said the store closed Monday and yesterday but would be open today.
"There's a little smoke smell," she said.
Houseman said Maurice's would do an ozone treatment to get rid of the smell, then reopen.

Cassidy Yeakel, an employee at The Palace, 8th and Massachusetts St., said the store would not close.
"It kind of smells like smoke," she said.
Yekel said there was a little water dripping in the store, but people were still coming in.

Last week's University Daily Kansan contained an error.
CORRECTION
The article, "Perkins aims to increase football fans this season," stated that Lew Perkins was responsible for raising football ticket sales to 26,500 in Connecticut last year. The Kansas Athletics Department sold 26,500 season football tickets last year, not the Connecticut athletics department.

Hi, yeah, to the person who called about why KU is not joining USSA, it's because the USSA is liberal propaganda, even for Lawrence, and it doesn't represent all students, so quit complaining.

I'm one of the many student voters who supported a living wage law for Lawrence in April and still do. Workers deserve this reasonable change. Thank you city commission.
that'd be the most insulting thing in the world if he didn't. He needs to give like $1.50 to $2 tuition decrease to every student who goes to KU. Otherwise, we should all curse him every time we see him.
Hemenway knows he has to give that $50,000 back to the students, right? I mean.
Yeah, this is for the individual who still thinks that tuition increases are financing the construction going on on campus as well as the chancellor's new raise. Wake up, dummy. The construction is funded by the KU Endowment, which has nothing to do with your tuition increases, and the chancellor's new raise came from a private donation from a person known as a philanthropist, which also has nothing to do with your tuition increases. Hard to believe you got into college, let alone stayed here. Have a good day.

This is to the non-Rhodes scholar that complained about the tuition increase and new University buildings being constructed. Just to inform you, the new engineering building cost $15 million dollars to construct and was funded entirely by private donation. Next time, get your facts straight.
