LATEST LAKE NEWS.
Now Reported That It Must Dry
Up.

After looking the situation over the
streets and walks committee of the city
council has come to the conclusion that
the lake. which covers several humid
red acres of ground west of North To-
peka, will have to be permitted to dry
up. So nearly is it on a level with Sol
der creek that it will be hardly posi-
BILE to drain it entirely. A considerable
part of the water in it will eventually
find its way out through the ditch that
empties into Soldier creek. The COM
mittee looked at the lake yesterday in
company with Trustee Perdium of Sol
der township. Efforts will be made to
divert the water which fills the lake by
embanking and ditching west of North
Topeka. With the source shut off the
lake will gradually disappear
Although there are numerous objec-
tons to it on the grounds of impractic-
scheme of buying a vacant lot near the
business center of town for the use Of
express wagons. With it for their stand
ing ground the expressmen will be
compelled to keep off the streets. Evil

ton to allow the expressmen to con-
tinue using the streets allowing four to
every block is to be disregarded.
Recommendations for the repair of the
approach to the Central avenue bridge
in North Topeka, the approach to the
Shunganunga creek bridge on East
Eighth street and for the drainage of
Biddle creek were made. The county
will cooperate in the permanent repair
of the Central avenue bridge over Sol
der creek. By laying a large drain
age sewer from Sixth street north on
Locust street it is believed that the fu-
ture overflow of Biddle creek in Park
dale can be prevented.
