Mr.. HOWARD'S IDEAS.
Some Suggestions About Improvement
of the River.

Tt looks as though the bridge and
dyke proposition would be threshed out
at the next council meeting. Also the
prospects fors battle array from the
North and South siders. Mr. H. d.
Howard has the following to say in adj
vance of the regular engagement
But it's high time to do something.
Our South siders seemed quite content
to do nothing except talk, and wait to
see if the North siders were really 60
ing to do anything and now since they
have really got together and are at
work, we realize that the flood water
can't run in their streets and homes
anymore. Where will it go? That is
the point exactly. It's got to get by
so We had better get busy and give back
the original waterway which would ne
ceSSitate another arch on each end of
the Melan bridge and well both rail-
road bridges the same, and then clean
out the archways and dyke the south
bank the same as the North side, but
above all these improvements the river
bed should be lowered and all obstruc-
tons removed. 1t may not be known
to everyone that the greatest fall the
river has for miles is just above and
below the Santa Fe bridge, a regular
rifle. If this were taken out all the
way up above the Rock Island bridge
and the bed left, a normal drainage of
the riverbed proper could be lowered at
least three feet at the Melan bridge.
That would accomplish the raise of
three feet for the avenue bridge, rec
commended by the government engineer.
Another drainage board should be ere
ated at once representing the South
side. In the meantime the North siders
should get busy on their river dykes
without delay AS to the Santa Fe rail-
way or any other railway company
stopping such dykes, that sounds lit
tie like the Union Pacific company
moving their main line up on Calhoun's
bluffs and leaving the city out in the
cold Let the good work go on. Co
operation is the practical way of hand
ling this matter but if anyone does not
want to cooperate they should not be
allowed to hinder. These added spans
to the bridges, the dykes, and the pro-
opening of the channel, all represenet
great outlay, but we are not building
city, just for today These are improve
ments for all time and should be built
with that idea in view. At the time the
Melan bridge was built L was in favor
of a much longer one and great many
of our people were, but 1T is built now
and built to stand for generations. We
have not completed our job; let's crowd
the completion of two large archways,
0ne on each side, and go to work on the
opening of the channel at once. We
nave the city engineers estimates and
olans in the hands of the council COM
nittee on public buildings for such
lrchways and on next Monday night
will introduce a resolution calling for |
estimates on dredging the riverbed and |
ilso asking the mayor to organize an
,ther drainage board to look after the |
south side district and work with the |
North Topeka board. If you want to |
lelp, come to the meeting. The time |
or remarks is past. We must work
apidly, or get another good ducking
lext spring.
