The following is contributed by an
anonymous North Topeka citizen: Two
North Topeka items in Thursday :
Journal caused much comment One
was in regard to the paving of Gordon
street west. The hope was expressed
by several persons that the Journal
would keep up the agitation until 1t
secured the proper action. The second
item caused still more comment. The
ont he
auditorium question does not want to
be misunderstood The North side was
almost unanimous for the city park
location. This feeling was very strong.
but has never been fully appreciated
by the rest OF the city The location
was considered central, convenient to
hotels, and the most possibly cOnVen-
lent to the railroad stations, to say
nothing of the site being free. But this
was not the main thought. North To-
peka desires to have lower Kansas ave
nue. improved. 1t wants Smoky Row
eliminated. 1t wants the park made
attractive and especially the south river
bank substantially walled up 50 as to
make a popular promenade from the
new bridge 10 the Rock Island property.
according to suggestions once made by
Mr. Edward Wilder. 1t would then like
TO see such engineering steps taken as
will secure a. degree OF slack water IN
the river through the city as will keep
all sandbars covered and adapt the
stream for popular boating purposes

one of the best advertisements for the
city: that it would broadly benefit the
entire city; that it would bring into
closer harmony the interests of both the
north and south sides; and that the
auditorium in the park would be one
great step in securing these results.
The North side stood by these views
until the last. 1t voted against the
bonds. 1t still believes that it had
better and more comprehensive view of
the real business side of the auditorium
proposition than the majority. But it
lions it now stands Loyalty by the de-
cisions of the people and of the council.
The First ward sentiment opposes all
injunction proceedings. but viii con-
help drive out Smoky Row. TO go for
ward with the park improvements, and
will patiently bide its time. It's kickers
are few and they don't hit hard"
