South McA1ester, Jan. 24.-Ten thous-
and cars of stone will be hauled from
various points on the M, K. & T. and
dumped on the dykes on the South Can
adam river where the big ditch has Just
been finished. One engine and a gang of
workmen are now stationed there and
are finishing up the work, which will
take the most of the winter. The rail-
way company is getting most of the
stone from the cut in this city. Here
the company will take out all the stone
from it's right of way. The cut is about
500 feet in length, all solid sandstone.
This will be taken out to the extreme,

is fifty feet on each side of the track.

ARE SAVING
THOUSANDS.
Taxes Reduced Over $4,000
In Topeka In 1898.
Detailed Statement of the Con-
dition of City Finances.
EXCELLENT SHOWING
Expansion Now the WatehWord
of the City.
Old Fogyism Has No Longer a
Place In Topeka.

CITY Clerk McFadden has just COM
pleted a financial statement of the con-
dition of the city at the beginning OF
this year. The statement covers the
preceding year and shows just how the
funds of the city were expended ana
from what source they came.
As usual it is a most fiattering snow
ing At the end of the year there was
about 5000 in the city treasury Inc
people were saved $4,000 in taxes. A
large number of improvement pohos
were paid. The $4,000 viaduct bonds
have been called in and $4,000 paid on
them and the remaining S1S,O 00 refunded
at three and three-quarters per cent.
While other Kansas cities are hunting
for purchasers for their bonds the mon
eyed interests are in a scramble for To-
peka bonds Every outstanding VA
rant has been paid. The electric light
plant has been put In good condition
and il is now one of the best lighting
plants in the state and is owned by the
city
The city is still paying S14,5 a year
to the water company for hydrant rent
ais but it is the policy of the CITY ad-
ministration to buy the plant for the
city and there is little doubt that 1t Will
be done in a short time
The city is in excellent shape for
period of expansion. City parks and
new city hall are a question of snort
time with a progressive city administra-
ton at the helm.
City Clerk McFadden has the records
so well systematized that every one IN
terested can tell at a glance what is
the financial condition of the city. There
are few men in Topeka who could per-
form the duties of the office SO well.
