THREE MUST CLOSE.
Inspector k1einhans Places Ban on
Topeka Restaurants

The first notifications issued to To-
peka restaurant men that their res
taurants must either be cleaned or
closed because they violated the state
laws requiring them to be in a clean
and sanitary condition were issued
to three places on the North side this
morning, by John KIeinhans, state
food inspector. These were served on
Charles o. Lumber, Gil North Kan
sas avenue, Couch & Berry at 615
North Kansas avenue and the Central
or John Allendorf's restaurant at the
west corner of North Kansas avenue
and Railroad street. The proprietors
of the first two places agreed to close
down temporarily and clean up to
comply with the law. Those in charge
of the last restaurant said that they
would shut down after June II, when
the lease on the building expired,
rather than to put the place in SAN
itary condition.
Mr.. Kleinhans action followed an
inspection trip made on the North side
yesterday and today. He said the
places mentioned were in very dirty
and unsanitary state. He notified the
people in charge that they must either
agreed to do so without making any
protest. The Central restaurant peo-
pie told him that their lease expired
June II, and they would close down
after that date rather than clean up.
This was agreed upon by Mr.. Klein
hans.
1.-The restaurants were in a bad
shape, and had a bad odor," said Mr..
Kleinhans this noon. t'They were un-
sanitary, filthy in fact. The people
did not make any fuss when 1 told
them they must either close down or
clean up. They knew the law and
promised to govern themselves accord
ingly in the future"
