Why Not Farmers Make Good
Roads Together?

Work began today on the crawling
of North Topeka avenue from Gar
field to Grant streets and Garfield
street between North Topeka avenue
and North Tyler street. This means
that two blocks at present will be
graveled. More may follow. The inn
provement is badly needed. The re-
cent mud from the rains and melting
snow have made these sections of the
streets almost impossible. The grav-
cling started will connect the gravel
Rochester road with Topeka avenue.
The latter is one of the most used
roads entering North Topeka
This work also calls attention to
the need of cooperation on the part
of farmers to make good roads con-
Meeting their farms with the city. The
plan has been tried in other states
including Iowa. 1t is said that good
road which crosses the entire state
and intersecting with good cross
roads is the result of corporations
of the farmers of the state.
1t has often been proposed that the
business men and farmers work to-
gether on the proposition. 1t is the
merchants and farmers who would
be most mutually benefited by such
improvement.

MEDIATE the crowd who attended the
