Thirty Days.
ARE SETTING STAKES.
Force of Men to Start Grading

Established.

Work on the Shorey extension of
the Topeka street railway was begun
today. The surveyors are setting
stakes. On Monday it is expected that
q full force of workmen will be on the
ground to grade and rush the under
taking to completion. 1t is thought
that the line will be finished as far as
the city limits within thirty days. At
the city limits within thirty days. At
field street, the north city limits, but
it is not unlikely that it will be pushed
on as far as the postoffice at Shorey
in the future.
Even when the present plans are
carried out, the line will be of great
advantage to the North side, Shorey
and vicinity. It will save long walk
for the Shorey people when they wish
to make the trip to Topeka A great
many men living in the former place
work in the Santa Fe shops. This
means without the line long walk
for them early in the morning and
back again in the evening when they
are tired out by the days work. This
IS. not to mention the Shorey people
who work in the stores and other
places on the South and North side.
The road as laid out begins at the
intersection of Morse street and Kan
sas avenue, goes west to Topeka ave-
from there west to Tyler street and
north to Garfield street. Altogether
the distance is a little over mile. 1t
IS planned to establish fifteen minute
car service.
The extension under construction
IS being made, in connection with 9TH
ers over the city. The Shorey line
has been proposed for some time. One
route for the road has been surveyed
as far as the Reform school and it is
= - -
connected with a line which will run
west to Silver Lake and other towns
further west.
North side people are enthusiastic
owe rthe prospect Of this and more en-
thusiastic because actual work has
begun on the line as planned at pres
ent. Those who sat in the seats of
the scornfuP' when the project was
first talked of, the doubling Thorn
ases." who declared that there road
never would be built because of the
feelun agin North Topeekie'' will now
Sit up and take notice. And mean
while it is thought that houses along
the road to Shorey will be built as
well as will grow substantial boom
for North side property in general.
