REJUvENATE THE PARK.
Let City Park Be Extended
Westward Up the River
And Be Beautified as Belts the
State Capital.
The Building of the Auditorium the
Beginning of the WORK.

It is practically a settled fact that
the new auditorium will be built in the
city park That is just as certain as
that it will be built.
There are many reasons why the
city park is the best place for the au-
ditorium, the best one being that it
will lead to the Improvement of a por-
ton of the city that should be i'm
proved.
1t is a burning shame that any por-
ton of the principal thorOughfare and
business street of Topeka should be
given up to low dives and the habita-
ton of worthless VagabOnds and the
lowest grade of women. There should
be no Smoky Row in Topeka and
the man who says that lower Kansas
avenue cannot be improved does not
know what he is talking about.
The city park is situated where it
would be of the most value to the citi-
zens of Topeka. for it is easy of access
from every part of the city. The trou-
Bile has been that no one has taken the
proper degree of interest in the park
Topeka has neglected this importa Mt
Improvement and when the visitor in
quired for the City Park the citizen
hung his head in shame and was com
PEELED to admit the truth-"We have no
park"
Two years 100 Prof. Worrau was re-
quested to prepare plans for the i'm
provement of the park, and he did so,
and his designs and plans may now be
seen in the Office of the city engineer.
They include a retaining wall along
the river with broad piazza equipped
with benches where the tired iudivid-
ual may rest for q half hour watching
the boats on the river and enjoying the
cool breeze that always blows from the
river. Then there are beautiful walks
and shrubbery and provision for the
extension of the park to the Rock Is
land bridge.
There is, however, no reason why
this park of Topeka's should be limited
on the west by the Rock Island bridge.
1t can be extended westward along the
river bank by means of dFiveways until
it reaches the large groves Of fine trees
beyond the Rock Island ~ This part
of the park would eventually become
the resort of all the people residing in
the western part of town and in Potwin
Place. Street cars would run to it and
