The work of putting down the side
walk on the west side of Kansas ave-
nue., just north of Gordon street, was
commenced today. This sidewalk had
graded for the pavement as the walk
projected several feet in the street. The
new walk will be five feet wide. The
city has over three feet of land for this
purpose and W. E Section allows the
use of enough of his ground to make
the walk five feet.
The suggestion has been made that
the people of North Topeka trim their
trees which hang over the sidewalk
and interfere with the passerby. In
this connection it might be well to sug-
gest that the improvement commence
from the ground up and the weeds and
grass which in many cases almost cover
the sidewalk be given some attention.
Especially in this condition true in re-
gard to the old Quincy school property.
Here the sidewalk on Quincy street is
merely a path. the grass and weeds
from the grounds and parking having
almost covered the walk so that pedes-
TRANS are compelled to go Indian file. |
This is only one of the places where
search warrant is almost necessary to
find the sidewalk.
Miss Bessie Campbell entertained the |
