ACQUIRE THE PARK.

Some doubts seem to exist in the
minds of the city's councilmen as to
the desirability of accepting the gener-
Gus offer of w. J. Rickenbacher of a Is
acre plat of wooded ground near the ex-
tremity Of South Kansas avenue for the
purposes of a public park. The only
question is as to whether the expense
involved in building the streets and
sidewalks around the proposed park
which will be needed to make it easy
of access and putting the park in shape
would be justified, especially in view of
the fact that the city's money is not
overly plentiful at this time because of
the large amount of necessary public
Improvement work which is under way
or in contemplation.
All encouragement should be given to
the city authorities for showing tenden-
cies of frugality but there is such a
thing as a false economy and it is fire.
quently practiced with all honesty of
purpose. This seems to be a case of
that sort. Topeka is a growing city and
it's growth is going to continue and be-
come greater all the time. There are a
number of fine parks in or near the
city now but no city can have too many
parks. Topeka will need more parks
in the future. OF that there is not the
shadow of a doubt. The time to pre-
pare for the future is the present, es-
pecially in regard to the acquiring and
laying out of parks. Sites for parks in
outlying territory which will some day
be centers of residential districts can be
secured more cheaply now than they
can be when their need is more appar-
ent In fact when the crying necessity
for a park is actually realized in GER
tain district it is almost impossible to
obtain 1t.
Nor is it likely In the particular case
| in question that the offer of Mr.. Rick
enbacher will be kept open for an in
definite period. That would be expect
ing too much. Surely the city will never
have an opportunity to secure such a
desirable park site so cheaply as this
one, no matter what the cost will be
for laying the necessary streets and
sidewalks and it won't be exceedingly
great. The city officials might well
skimp in other matters of public i'm

to accept this offer. They will be do
