COUNCIL WILL INSPECT.
Committee Takes Up Missouri Pacific
Proposition.

Monday morning at o'clock the com
mittee from the city council headed by
Councilman Drew will visit the Missouri
Pacific tracks on Adams street near
Seventh and look over the ground
where the proposed switch is to be put
in
Seven years ago the Missouri Pacific
was ready to make about $50, Q00 worth
Of improvements on their property and
they asked that they be allowed to
put in this switch The residents Hv-
ing on Adams street between Seventh
and Eighth rebelled and fought the
proposition inch by inch in the city
council and defeated it
This time the proposition has been
brought up through the wishes of To-
pekats Leading business men and deal
ers. The Missouri Pacific is a particu-
larry favorable road to Topeka dealers
as it delivers shipments here from some
eastern markets in a better manner
than other roads and then again it
distributes the goods shipped by To-
peka dealers into parts of Kansas and
adjoining states that other roads run
ming out of Topeka do not reach
1t is not generally understood that
the Missouri Pacific stands second in
railroad mileage in Kansas. The Santa
Fe stands first On account of the good
service rendered the shippers of To-
peka by the Missouri Pacific the leading
business men of Topeka petitioned the
management of the road that the
freight depot be moved from South To-
the reason that it was nearly iEnpOs-
stble 10 reach the South Topeka depot
in muddy weather.
The residents near Seventh and
Adams streets have made objections to
the city council on the grounds that
the new switch will bring the tracks
too near their houses and that the
switching Will be going on constantly.
F. E NippS, local representative OF
the road, said: While this switch will
bring the tracks nearer the houses
there will not be more than a half
hours switching a day. We can not
get into our two lots in a satisfactory
manner unless we are allowed this priv
iIege. 1t should be understood that this
idea was not started by the road but
by the merchants of Topeka This same
thing came up seven years ago and was
defeated and as the company could not
put the4r tracks in as they wished they
refused to make any improvements
When asked about better train ser
vice and whether the road would build
north from Topeka Mr. Nipps said;
We do not wish to make any false
promises but if the business should
warrant it we certainly should have
better train service and eventually
build north What Topeka needs is 4
road north and south and while can
not say positively l think the Missouri
Pacific will build north in time II they
make improvements here.

the line viii go to Kay Center although
the indications have pointed strongly
TO Blackwell It will be completed to
Kay Center inside OF three weeks
From now on Kay Center viii be
doomed as the coming county seat of
Kay Center.
This interests many Kansas people
who are looking for places for invest
rneuts. The road is now completed to

the grade TO Kay Center is in progress
As IS well known Kay Center IS in
the heart Of the great wheat belt and

to make Kay Center a point on their
