Asked to Act.
WEEK OF CONVENTIONS.
Five Meetings Held in as Many
Days.

WEEK DENOMINATIONS

A petition will probably be present.
ed at the next meeting of the county
commissioners signed by the owners of
property between Summit street and
Gage Park, asking that the Eighth
avenue road be extended to the park.
All but one of the property owners
whose land would be utilized as part
of the roadway have signed the petit
ton agreeing to donate the land, and
that one has not been approached on
the proposition.
The Elmhurst Syndicate will do the
work of cutting the road through
Pinehurst and the remainder of the
direction of township trustees
Two of the county commissioners
have been approached on the subject
and expressed themselves as being in
favor of opening up the road.
Gage Park Extension.
The sooner this work is completed
the sooner are the advocates of a street
railway line to Gage Park likely to
have their dreams come true-and it is
expected that this will be next year.
The trend of the expansion of the
residential districts of the city is toward
Eighth avenue road and the inStalla-
ton of a railway line would make
property values go up with a leap, and
cause a building boom along the car
line.
Hold Enthusiasm Meeting.
Next Wednesday noon the Topeka
Real Estate Dealers association will
hold an enthusiasm meeting at the
Commercial club. David Lakin, c. c.
Blakely, and w. J. Rickenbacher will
speak on the general topic of What l
Can Do for Topeka" All persons in
terested in the growth of the capital
city are invited to be present.
The Conventions.
Topeka has entertained five conven-
tions and conferences this week which
brought 1850 t-of-town people to
Topeka, figuring in round numbers
The merchants and hotel men conse-
quently benefited directly and the city
