AN ORDINANCE providing for the issue
of bonds to the amount of Seventy-ffve
Thousand Dollars (S75 000) for the pur-
pose of refunding certain bonds of the
City of Topeka, Kansas.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF
COMMISSIONERS OF THE CITY OF
Topeka:
Section THAT for the purpose of COM
promising and refunding the valid, exist
ing outstanding bonded Indebtedness of
the city of Topeka, Kansas, evidence by
its legally issued bonds in the sum of
Seyenty-five Thousand ($75, ,o00) Dollars
being part of an issue of 500, 900. bearing
interest at the rate of five per centum 6
per cent? per annum, and due August 10Th
1912, which said bonds have been out
standing more than two years, the Mayor

Instead OF $4,000.

Animal Cages to Cost $4,000
Will Be Built.
Comfort Stations and Wading
Pools Over City.

The taxpayers in the city of To-
peka will be asked to support a mill
! levy for park purposes in Topeka next
year. In the budget which he is pre-
pairing at this time z. B. Stotts, city
commissioner, is planning on expendi-
lures that will require a one mill tax
instead of the half-mill levy of last
year. In other words, Commissioner
Stotts wants $4,000 for park pur-
/ poses instead of the $4,000 limit
made by the previous half mill re-
| turns.
| This is the most important an
nouncemelt in connection with the
/ improvement of city parks in Topeka
/ in the history of the city. 1t means,
according to city officials, that the
city will have one of the best park
systems in the west within the next
few years.
1t is believed at the city hall that
the taxpayers will make no complaint
on the mill levy for parks. The in
terest taken in parks this last year
has educated the people to the ad-
vantages of city beauty spots and
breathing spots, say the city commits
sionerS.
The main reason for the need of ad-
ditional funds next year is the pur-
chase and improvement of an East
side park. 1t will be necessary tc

proVement will tax the regular fundS
under the half mill levy.
An animal mouse or zoo at Gage park
IS another expense that must be met
by the park commissioner next year.
With the campaign for more animals
for Gage park it is necessary that a
permanent zoo be constructed there. 1t
is planned tC spend from $4,000 to So
900 on a zoo similar to the Swope park
cage in Kansas City,
A large enclosed sanitary cage with
a fountain and a cage for water fowls
will be built immediately after the
taxes are available.
Bubbling fountains will be placed in
all of the city parks. Wading pools
in most of them. Comfort stations will
be located.
Commissioner Stotts has not conf
pleted the details of his budget but IT
is known that before the money is
spent in 1913 the city will have one

GAS men STRIKE
Men Working ON Kansas Nat
uraI Gas Mains Walk Out.
They Want Hours per Day Re-
duced From Ten to Eight.

A strike of the fourteen men en-
ployed by the Kansas Natural Gas Co.,
employed in the extension of mains in
the city occurred this morning The
strike is the result of the company re-
fusing to shorten the work day from
ten hours to eight. On last Friday
all the men employed in ditch digging
and pipe laying signed petition to
the company requesting that the day
be shortened to eight hours with no
reduction in wages. The petition was
furnished to the assistant superinten-
dent, Mr.. Carr, and through him to
Mr.. Swan. This morning the request
of the men was denied and the men
all quit work.
1t is claimed by the strikers that the
work is extremely hard, especially
during the hot weather, and that the
company drives the employees to the
limit. The wages have been two dollars
for ten hours work, and the men de-
cided that it was worth two dollars
and only work eight hours. A meet
ing of the strikers will be held at La
Dor Hall on Tuesday evening, at
which time representatives of organ
lied labor will address the meeting
and advise the strikers what course to
pursue. The meeting will be called
to order at 4 o'clock p. m.

old son of Charles Peterson of 3O5

Nearly double drowning occurred

could not swim, he started to pull
him out, but Peterson. in the frenzy
of drowning man, grasped Taylor's
foot and pulled him under.
A group of heightened small boys
nearly all younger than the drowned
lad, surrounded the body as it lay
on the bank, while Ira Wells, who
hurried from his home near by, tried
to resuscitate the victim. Meanwhile

Street Noises and Schools.
"a Chicago Record-HeraId.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
New York city is about to put into ef-
feet an ordinance recently enacted for
promoting ''the quietude of the pupils
and teachers in the city schools. Signs
are to be displayed bearing the words
"Notice-School street. and warning
to drivers and pedestrians not to make
any unnecessary noise. The police COM
missioner may. at his discretion. divert
heavy traffic from any block in which
a school is situated, between SAB am.
and 315 pm. A fine of $40 may be re-
uuired from a violator of the ordinance.
The Society for the Suppression or
Noises intends TO see that
the ordinance is observed. This society
is evidently doing good work. Street
noises are disturbing to many besides
school children and teachers, but be
ginning may well be made in behalf or
the schools. Our noisy American cities
should be made quieter. Unnecessary
noises exist because We have paid little
attention to them; with little thought
and care they can be abolished. Per-
haps the worst noise Of large cities comes
from elevated railroads, and reasonable
measures to minimize the roar from their
operation should be required, especially
in the vicinity of schools. hospitals or
other public institutions.
