GOOD no Walk On.

All the Bad Kansas Avenue side
walks Must Go.
The public will hail with delight the
announcement that the sidewalks on
Kansas avenue are to be repaired at once
Many Of the sidewalks on TOpeka's prin-
cipal thorOughfare have for a long time
been a disgrace to the city, and while
the council was ordering walks built IN
front of vacant lots in the snburbs it
might have better put the Kansas avenue
walks in better condition.
The street commissioner has ordered
the walks repaired before Al numbers on
Kansas avenue, and he says that nearly
all the property owners say they will
build new walks rather than to repair
the Old ones.
He only heard one protest, and that
was from John Fiery, who owns
some bad walks on the east
side of Kansas avenue above Fourth
street Mr.. Fiery does not care much
for appearances, and when he received
the edIct of the street commissioner he
was mad, and he forthwith hunted up
that officer and told him what he thought
of him and the whole city government
and his opinion could hardly be used in
a boom write-up Of the city.
New walks will be put down in front
of the property on the east side Of the
avenue south of Fifth. When Frank
Durein, who owns the property. was no
titled that be must repair the walk he
said he would put in a new one at once
Where new walks viii not be put IN
the old ones will be patched and before
many days Topeka may hope to see Kan
sas avenue in a really "presentable" con-

THE NEW SEWER DONE.
But it Can't be Paid Tor without city
Engineer.


Engineer.
The new sewer in district IL is com
pleted and is now being flushed but the
time when the contractor. G II. Holcraft
receives his pay will depend entirely
upon the pleasure Of the mayor and
council An estimate Of the work can
be made by no one but city engineer
and as the city has dispensed with the
services of that officer no estimate can be
made nor can the work be accepted; and
the council cannot pay Dir. Holcraft until
this is done.
He has nothing to do but await the re-
suit of the game Of "freeze out" now be-
ing enjoyed by the legislative and execu-
tive departments Of the city government.
A special engineer might be appointed
TO make the estimates and after they
were made. be discharged.
Dir. Engell, who WAS discharged from
the engineers force by the mayor has
continued to act as sewer inspector Of
the work being done on the sewer, and
this may cause a legal hitch in the pay
menr OF the contractor.
