OPENING KISTLER STREET.
Council Provides by an Ordinance For
Its Extension.

Some time ago petition signed by a
number of North Topeka people, was
presented to the council asking that a
benefit district be formed for the open
ing of Kistler street from Kansas ave-
nue. east to Jefferson street.
The petition was granted by the coun-

of the opening.
The cost will be about S., 800, and En-
Gineer Wise recommends that the bene-
fit district include all the territory
north of the Union Pacific track and
east of Kansas avenue, and also the
most of that between Central avenue
and Kansas avenue as far north as
KiouS street.
