MAN WHOMENDs THEHOLEs
How Many a Damage Suit is Saved

If there is one man in Topeka who
has agreea bic work, that man is G. g.
White, the city sidewalk repafrer. He
doesn't have to worry about deadbeat
customers, or failing business. All he
has to do is to attend to the calls for
sidewalk repairs, write down the date
in his little book, mend the necessary
walks and then file his claim with the
city council and he receives 81. so per
day for each day that he has to work.
Mr.. White is an elderly man who is
an experienced carpenter. His son-tn-
law is Councilman Frank Stevens. MI
White has gentle horse which hauls
his wagon, and a large blue umbrella
fixed over the seat of the wagon shields
him from the hot sun. The city lum-
Der is kept in the city lot and it is there
that Mr.. White prepares the boards
which he lays when a sidewalk con
tains broken or decayed pieces.
Last month he worked 25 days, for
which he will receive So. so. No one
finds fault with Mr. Whites work In
times gone by the sidewalk repairer
had to keep the bridge floors in the city
in good repair and his work was heavy.
But now some of the street force is
employed. entailing a cost to the city

The county attorney of Lyon county
began an action in the district court of
Lyon county seeking to enjoin the may
or and city council of Emporia from

election held in the city of Emporia on
August Is. The injunction was denied
and the case has been appealed It
was fled in the supreme court yester-
day under the title of State Of Kansas
VS. City of Emporia.
The city of EmpOria some time ago
levied a special tax to create what
was called building fund.- to be used
in building public buildings. Afterward
when some s., 900 had been collected the
council determined not to build and
that the money could be used to better
advantage in the general fund of the
city They called an election for the
purpose of submitting the question OF
the transfer to the voters.
The proposition to transfer the fund
carried but the vote was very light
and some of the citizens claimed that
it was not a fair expression of the sen
