DIVIDED INTO THREE DISTRICTS
County VIII Buy Coal From Three
Companies to Save Long Hauls.

To save expense in hauling coal to
the institutions supplied by the coun-
ty this winter the territory has been
divided into three districts. and the
coal probably will be supplied by three
different concerns. The first district
on the north includes North Topeka
and he poor farm, and the contract IN
all proba bility will be let to a North
Topeka concern. The central district
includes the county buildings and the
INDECENT poor supplied with coal in the
city proper. The south district in
cludes the two Crittenden homes and
the INDECENT poor to the south. Thus
a long haul. in case a North Topeka
concern was awarded the contract
from the yards to the Crittenden
homes. is avoided, and the same to the
poor farm in case the contract went
t, a firm in South Topeka.
The plan was advocated by Commits
sicner James c. Sinner a year ago
It has been adopted by the county
board this year, and upon the basis
given the various coal companies will
be asked to bid on the contracts.
