Folks DON'T WANT TRACKS.

An extension of the street car lines
along the river front, connecting the
h Brush-st depot with the Union and
Michigan Central depots and tapping
the more important wharves. was con-
'nidered by the subcommittee on extern
sions and Encouragement OF the com
mittee OF so. ia its meeting Wednes-
day afternoon. The suggestion was
made by Thomas Neal, OF the Acme
White Lead & Color works, and a
member OF the subcommittee. Mr.,
Neal and Thomas Reeder were dele
gated TO investigate the proposed plan
and report as early as possible.
Il The plan contempletes the eXtcn-
sion OF the present depot line. which
runs mp Third-st., to the Brush-st
depot via Woodbridge ST.. with spurs
running down 10 the docks wherever
needed for the accommodation OF
freight cars. This would facilitate
the receiving and delivery OF freight
at night and would save the manufac
,turers of the Milwaukee Junction dis

they now have 10 contend with. The

association has already taken action

A big delegation OF Cadillac-ave.
residents, headed by Hoyt Post. ap.
reared before the committee 10 pro-
test against the building Of line on
that street instead OF on Pennsylvania
ave. They pointed out that the big
water main in the street would be
damaged by electrolysis and that the
street is too narrow for car line
without being widened, which would
mean the sacrifice of a number of
shade trees. The committee was so
impressed by the arguments that 1;
was practically decided that the lines

probably mean another protest from
the residents OF these streets.
The committee, on the recommen-
dalton OF Msssrs. Hannah and Neal.
who investigated the situation. decid-
ed that Baldwin-ave. was preferable
to Van Dyke for the proposed new
double track line.
In response 10 the vigorous protests
OF Lothrop-ave. residents against the
proposed crosstown line on that thor
oughfare. the committee decided TO
substitute Milwaukee-ave., but the
street will probably have TO be
widened in places. The plans for
north and south loop in the west end
were revised so that it will run down
Scotch to Fort and up Hubbard TO
Porter.

crossings are always more or less
dangerous and undesirable. Then
there is a bit of low ground which is
subject to high water floods but this
will not be a serious charge against
the park.
AS to the advantages-there are
many. In the first place the natural
lay of the ground is perfect. The
fifteen acres is thickly wooded on both
sides of small fresh spring water
creek On one side is duff crowned
with a fifty foot level for a driveway
and on the creek level is series of
smooth openings suitable for athletic
fields and play grounds.
The drivewayS through the park
could be made very artistically wind
ing around through the trees on the
overhanging bluffs then down around
the athletic fields and game yards
Boating would be without COM
parison. Nothing in the city could
compare with the advantages in this
connection.
Several of the park commissioners
have visited the site and they pro-
nouEce it an ideal location for park
The city officials are strongly in favor
of the plan and of course Mr.
Rickenbacher is ready TO turn the
fifteen acres over as soon as the
preliminary work is finished
AS whole the site looks like the
coming park of the city. There is
room for water sports and land sports
of every kind and the forest trees to-
gether with the fine drinking water,
make a great place for picnickers and
small camping parties. A little en-

THE LAND Is WOODED

Pleasing Features.

The streets and walks committee of
the city council together with Mayor
Green, City Engineer Rogers and
Street COMMISSIONS Snyder in the
police patrol as a conveyance, visited
the proposed park in South Topeka
which has been under consideration
for some time at the invitation of w.
]. Rickenbacher, who has a scheme
whereby the city will be presented
with the site.
The land which will be donated to
the city for park purposes if the
proper arrangements can be made, is
situated just south of Twenty-first
street, west of Quincy north of
Twenty-fourth and east of the Mis-
souri, Pacific tracks. 1t is a stretch of
and has natural advantages of every
kind.
The proposition made by Mr..
Rickenbacher is to have the city sur
vey all of the land east of the park
into town lots and stake them out for
him. Then he asks that the city ex-
tend a wide thoroughfare through the
park to connect with another road
along the north edge which will be
constructed by the county commits
sioners. This being done he makes
one more condition. He asks that the
city pay just as much per acre for
improvements in this park as 1t paid
for all other parks in the city-also in
ten years the park must ne completely
improved and made into finished city
park.
Talk Matter Over.
The streets and walks committee
met at the council chamber last night
and talked the matter over in the
presence of number of other city
Z officials. They at last came to the
conclusion that the city engineer
would survey the lots at once and
stake them but as to the road and
the park mprovements-this will be
left until conference can be held
with the park commissioners. Mr..
Rickenba cher was present at the
meeting last night and he was pleased
with the favorable action of the coun-

Here is the Topeka park scheme:
There is a certain amount of money
to be spent upon parks each year. This
money is used on the parks according
to the acreage. This money is divided
from the amount of taxes for this
purpose. There are approximately 1 Sd
acres of park land owned by the city
of Topeka. With the addition of the
proposed Rickenbacher addition of
fifteen acres it would mean that the
city could spend about $50 an acre or
almost $1,000 on the new park.
Has Some Drawbacks.
1t might be we'll to state the dis
advantages of the park first. In the
first place it is u long distance from
any car line. Vice President Myers of
the Topeka Street Railway stated to
Mr.. Rickenbacher last evening that
he would extend the street car lines to
this park as soon as it became a
popular place of amusement and as
soon as the traffic in this direction de-
manded it. 1t would be possible to
either swing the Highland Park line
around and connect with the South
topeka system or simply extend the
South Topeka line. However, at the
district to attract a street car COM
pany and a person must either drive
or take long walk to gain entrance
to the park.
Another disadvantage is the
proximity of the railroad tracks. II
is necessary to cross both the Mis-
souri, Pacific and the Santa Fe in order
to get to the park and these grade
