ROWS #617–#618 · LEG 92 ITEMS 5–6 · THE GROUND TEST
A zoo needs ground, and this town's candidate grounds are known: Ferrettie / Baugo Creek County Park on the town's edge, the town's own park ground, and the fairground line the Fairs leg carries. None carries a deer park, animal house or keeping record in any source reached. One ground in this county's record does carry a fair-to-park course that touches the zoo's park, and it prints at boundary size because the register found it here: this history carries the county fairgrounds surrendered 4 June 1903 and passed to South Bend as Potawatomi Park on 3 April 1906. That is the ground course of the boundary zoo's park as this build already held it — fairgrounds first, park second, zoo third — and the zoo article below takes it up at South Bend's strength.
Row #618 asks for pre-zoo menagerie years — sanctuary years, a first inventory, a relief-era animal house. On this ground there are none: no sanctuary keeping exhibited animals is named for Osceola or Penn Township in any record reached; no inventory exists because no collection existed; and no WPA animal house stands here — the relief-built cat house of this county is South Bend's, boundary-printed below. TESTED NEGATIVE on both rows.
