In some alleys in the heart or the

phone and electric light wires make
wire fence around the upper STORES
of the buildings. In the day time the
fire companies will thread their lad-

Topeka does not have water towers.
Ii, bad fire it is necessary to run
ladders up in the air and shoot water
from above in this manner. When
the lives of inmates of building are
at stake it is necessary that ladders be
placed against the walls in all possible
haste.
With innumerable wires and poles
in the middle of the night-this is a
task.
The ordinance which is being pre-
pared by the city commissioners at this
time will provide for a tax on every
pole in the city. Since the announce
ment of this move on the part of the
commissioners the officials have re-
ceived encouragement from all over
the city. With the report Of Chief
Wilmarth it is possible that the city
win make the tax on the poles SO large
that underground lines will be con-
structed by the corporations.

was due to the carelessness of the
motorman, who did not use proper
precaution in the operation of the car.
AS a result of the injuries. Peasley
complains that he has suffered extern

condition has been greatly impaired.
Before the accident the plaintiff says
he was a scientific masseur and fol-
lowed the Swedish system. This bust

come of $4,000 a year. AS a result of
his injuries he was compelled to neg
lect his thriving business and that his
practice suffered an almost total loss.
Peasley is certain his condition is daily
becoming more critical and he asks
judgment against the street railway
company in the amount of $4,000 as
just compensation for his injuries.
