There was too much horseplay and too
little harmony. Why does minstrel
shoy carry lot of high class singers and
then not have them sing? For statuary
purposes? Let the end man answer TINS
conundrum if he can. H. G. P.

A survey to determine the legal lines
bounding Oriole street in Highland Park
is being run by Jack Campbell, county
surveyor, and will result in the fences
that now obstruct the street being moved
back and the full width utilized. Uncer-
tatnty regarding the line led a number of
people to build their fences too far out,
and in some places the street has been
narrowed down to 20 feet, while it should
be 60 feet wide. There is no trouble over
the widening, all of the residents having
expressed themselves willing to move
their fences to the line when that line
is established.
Lines for the road from the new brick
Gage park, known as the Brick Yards
road, have been run and furnished to the
contractors. This road will be brought to
grade and paved with brick, a contract
recently having been let to the Topeka
Vitrified Brick company by the county
board. The surveying was done by Jack
Campbell, county surveyor. A bond in
the sum of $1O,664, to assure the paving
of the road, has been filed with the coun-
ty board. Across the river, from the end
of the bridge to the Silver Lake road,
other surveying has been done to estab-
hsh the road. In some places the road
was found to be from forty to fifty feet
in the timber the travel having followed
the line of least resistance around the
timber. The road, on it's proper line,
will be opened sometime soon, and will re-
ceive attention. 1t is known as the Upde-
graf road.
Preliminary arrangements for the big
gathering of Kansas civil engineers at
the annual meeting of the Kansas Engi-
neering society in Topeka January IA and
is are under way. The meeting is ex-
pected to be the best in the history of
the organization, and promises to be brim-
ful of interest to engineers at least. The
society, although only three years old, has
grown to be an important factor in engi-
neerine events in the state, and now has
a membership of more than 200 of the
best engineers of the state. 1t is likely
that discussions regarding proposed Iegis-
lation relating to public roads and bridges
will be brought up during the meetings.
The official program has not yet been an
nounced 1t will contain, however, a num-
Der of papers on live subjects of interest
to engineers generally.
