WHITE WAY is ASSURED.
Declared Chairman Simpson Of the
Special Committee.

You can assure the public that we
are going to have a great white way
said D. B. Simpson, chairman of the
special lighting committee of the
Commercial club.
I'VE don't know what method of
financing the scheme will be adopted
but there is so much enthusiasm man
Tested in the idea that failure to put
1t through seems almost impossib BILE.
"Pd rather have electric lights for
the same price than gas lights and
in fact I'd rather pay a little extra for
the former, but the offer which the
gas company has made is so much be-
low that made by the Edison com
pany, that 1 believe that it should be
at least considered.
1.-The Edison company would IN
stall twelve posts to the block-40O
candle power per pOst-for $1.750
a block, and would charge five dollars
per post month for operating the
same for four hours.
The Gas company would put in
the same number of posts represent
ing 500 candle power each, for $3.50.
and would leave the lights burning
from dusk to midnight for two dollars
q post"
The committee of the Commercial
club will again get together about the
middle of next week. In the mean
time Robert Stone is looking into the
question as to whether the property
owners can be made to assess them
selves for the maintenance of the
lights.

make Lakewood a wild animal home

The petition as submitted to the
commissioners this morning follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Commissioners:
We, the members of the Booster
club of South Topeka, do hereby re-
specially petition you to cause the

BILE and better adapted for a perma-
nent geological garden than any of the
parks in our city.
we, the members of the Booster
club of South Topeka, hereby pledge
ourselves to assist the park commits
sioner in ever way to build up col
lection of animals for such a garden
which will be a credit to the city of
Topeka. We further pledge ourselves
