Park Vicinity.
RemodeIing Homes and Beauti-
flying Premises.

So visitors Will See Desirable
ity as Location.
Ralph Lyon With Crusaders
Company.

L. c. Betz is repainting and other
wise improving his residence at 1Io
Holman street. Nearby G. c. stephens
has nearly completed a new bungalow.
Work will begin in a few days on a
new porch at the Van Ness home, 1109
North Kansas avenue 1t IS uhder-
stood that at least two more. houses
will be built in this neighborhood this
summer.
The improvements are taking place
in the vicinity of Garfield park which
is being transformed into an amuse-
ment place. The proximity OF these
premises to the park which Will nkely
be filed every day this summer py
people from all parts of the city as
a good advantage to show to others
the desirability of the First ward as
a residence place.
Also further away from the park,
the rernodeling of the Gabriel home
on North Kansas avenue and the build
ing of the Fisher house on Central
avenue will add much to this part or
the ward. This action will also be
under the observation of people going
to and from the park. In addition to
improving residences proper a dispo-
sition is growing to pay more atren-
ton to lawns than ever before Whlle
this has been a feature of the North
side in the past, the idea of more peo-
pie than at any other year coming TO
the North side on account of the new
Garfield park, seems to give added en-
couragenient to the idea. North side
people are beginning to realize the op-
portunity to make the First ward the
beauty spot of Topeka. AS perhaps
more ground surrounds the homes on
an average than in any other part OF
Topeka, more opportunity is given Tor
this.
A North side boy is gaining a repu-
tation as a singer. He is Ralph Lyon,
son of Mrs. Clara Lyon. Young Lyon
has been singing at the Coy, Best, OK
ford, Princess and other moving pic
ture shows for several months. Next
week he will go to Abilene where he
will join the Crusader moving picture
people who were at the Auditorium
and be absent for several months
likely.
