The citizens of North Topeka are
fountain which is to be donated to the
city, located in the First ward. One of
the conditions that accompanies the
gift is that it shall be so placed that
it can be reached from all sides and
North Topekans are confident that
just such a site can be found at the
intersection of Kansas avenue, Central
avenue and Gordon street. At this
place is piece of ground in the shape
of a triangle and here the fountain
could be approached from all sides. !
1t has another good point as it is a
public location and all roads from the |
country lead by it Mr.. Section, who
owns this ground has offered to do |
nate enough of it for the fountain and |
for flower gardens. while Mr.. o. NJ |
Capron, the North side florist has |
promised flowers. This would change |
this triangle into a pretty park and |
give North Topeka a Central park on |
a small scale. The following petition |
is being circulated and has received |
many signers.

of the City Council OF the City of
