ONE MORE BAND STAND
South Topeka People Would Have Thii

New bandstands are springing up like
mushrooms.
Residents in South Topeka are agitat-
ing the erection of a bandstand in the
quarter stretch of the race track at the
fair grounds. Business men have ex-
pressed a willingness to contribute lib
orally and it is believed that the Fair
Grounds association will support the
idea in a handsome manner.
Councilman Sinner OF the Fifth ward
said: The big crowds at the concert
of the military band at the fair grounds
last night demonstrated that the people

large numbers TO hear a band concert.

willing to put up their money for the
building provided that some encourage
ment is shown"
T. J. Anderson. secretary of the Com
mercial club. has prepared a resolution
which he will ask the council in its spec
ial session this evening to pass The
resolution calls for the erection of 4
bahdstaud in the parking on the east
side of Harrison street between Eighth
avenue and Ninth street. Because the
city has control over parkings, they

the city, the council would have the
power to grant the right to erect band
stand in the parking without consulting
the executive council Of the state which
refused to allow a bandstand to be built

The resolution follows:
Permission is hereby granted the citi-
