The property owners of East Sixth
avenue bordering the cemetery car line
have grown weary with the delin-
quency of the Topeka Railway COM
pany in the paving of the space be-
tween the rails of their car line. The
bricks have been piled in the parkings
for several months now and have pre-
vented the growing of the grass. 1t is
hoped that the completion of the paw
ing will be fastened so the lawns can
be fixed up for the summer.
East Topeka has taken a new strive
in the building line. Several store
buildings are being erected on East
Sixth avenue as we'll as a number of
