The change in public sentiment in
regard to the future of North Topeka is
now very marked in comparison with
what it was thirty days ago. People
are not only returning to their old
| homes or to new ones which they have
rented but the business men generally
seem inspired with renewed confidence
/ The sentiment that the First ward will
be restored to a better condition than
ever is almost universal. 1t is true
/ that some property has been sold al
1 prices far below its real value, but III
nearly every case investigation shows
| that it is not for want of confidence
| in the future but for other reasons thai
| a month since the work of restoration
was begun, and the result has been
most noticeable. although so much re,
mains yet to be done. There is dis
position on the part of some who have
houses to rent to advance prices, while
in few cases others have lowered tbs
rent. Perhaps more just course
would be to continue the former rates
The expense of repairs may reasona bly,
be borne by the proprietors- In a yeal
from now an advance may better be
made If circumstances seem to war
rant.
