Saving in Interest Over Other
Kansas Cities.

| At a saving of several hundred dol
lars and under business methods here
tofore unknown. Topeka is preparing
to sell to local investors the largest
special Improvement bond issue in +he
history of the city. The amount is
more than $500, 600. Not only is To-
peka able to sell these bonds und n
financial conditions which have not
been excelled in the past but this city
is disposing of bonds at a lower rate
of interest than any other city in
Kansas or the west
Under the plan of sale announced
this morning by Roy L Bone. corn
missioner of finance and revenue, To-
peka will save one-ha1f per cent by
disposing of the bonds locally. Further
more the city will save pig per cent
by holding the bonds for delivery until
it is necessary to meet the estimates
| of the city engineer. Add to this the
fact that Topeka through bulk con-
tracts is able to economic in the cost
of paving and you have a pocketbook
example of the work of the commission
form of government
The special Improvement bond issue
will be worked out along the following
lines:
Paving contracted for........ $215. 900
Sixth avenue paving ..-......- $1,000
Skene park sewer . 5000
Total ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 1886, 900
Figuring that probably $4,000 in
paving assessments will be paid in
cash. this leaves s205,000 for the
bond issue.
The new bonds will be offered for
sale on or about July 1. They will be
sold at par and accrued interest The
bonds will be issued in denomina-
lions of $500. dated July 1, 1913, ma
ture seriaIly in one to ten years and
will bear interest at the rate of Il
per cent. Both principal and semi
annual interest is payable at the Of
flee of the state treasurer
Last year Topeka was enthusiastic
over the sale of $4,000 in special
oversubscribed by $4,000. Already
Commissioner Bone has received
scores of inquiries concerning the 1913
issue and no trouble in selling is an
ticipated-
Here is one of the distinct advan-
tages of the local saIe-Topeka abb
soluteIy is independent of the eastr
ern market Financial conditions in
the east do not hamper the disposal
of these bonds.
And that isn't all-not a city in
Kansas is able to sell municipal bonds
at less than five per cent. Some are
paying more Topeka pays AZ per
cent. On the other hand Topeka is
quietly distributing her money to her
citizens-the brokers in the east are
rot drawing their slice of the pro-
ceeds.
The plans for the 1913 issue have
been worked out by Commissioner
Bone. The bonds will be purchased
with Topeka me ney. The paving con-
tracts have been let to Topeka con-
tractors, who will use Topeka labor
and materials. The city improvements
this year will be distinctly Topeka
made"

HUNTERDON HAD
WIRELESS in '88
Telegraphing Done From Trains on
Lehigh Valley Railroad
Many Years Ago.
ITS REVIVAL CAUSES BIG STIR

Wireless telegraphy was in prac-
teal operation in Hunterdon County
away back in 1888, for a number
of months, being used on certain
trains on the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road
On Friday last the Lackawanna
Limited, on the Delaware, .Lacka-
wanna & Western Railroad, began
the use of the wireless telegraph, and
the public viewed with surprise the
progress that is being made.
The only vital difference between
the service on the Leigh Valley
twenty-five years ago and that on
the Lackawanna today is in the. dis
lance the message is transmitted
without wires.
On the Lehigh Valley separate
telegraph line was built along the
railroad right of way, the wires be-
ing lower than the regular line. The
roof of the car containing the tele-
graph apparatus had a specially
constructed metallic covering, at
one place, and the electric waves
traversed the distance between the
car and the pole line without wires.
The trains going eastbound about
9 o'clock in the morning, and west
bound shortly after in the after
noon were equipped, as we'll as some
other trains, and the writer remem-
bers seeing people watch the train
as it passed along the South Branch
of the Raritan River between Elem
ington and Stanton, to see if any
thing visible fitted back and be-
tween the car and wire line.
The operators were equipped with
a headpiece and ear receiver very
similar to those in use in the wire
less of the present day, so far as
external appearances went.
Messages were sent and received
for passengers at that time, double
charge being made, if we mistake
not.
During the famous blizzard of
March II, 13 and IA, 1888, the
system played an important part in
the work. On the train pushing
the snow pillow, wrecked near Three
Bridges, was wireless equipment
and aid was summoned by its means.
After using the service for time
the Lehigh Valley abandoned it,
both because there seemed no real
demand for it, and because of
the expense of it's maintenance.
Careful investigation will reveal
the fact that the two counties of
Hunterdon and Bucks have usually
been from ten to twenty-five years
ahead of the rest of the country in
progress anyway.
