Many New Plans.

List of Topeka Factories Is Be-
ing Prepared.
ANOTHER WANTS UNION DEPOT

When the 1913 committees of the
Commercial club are announced in
the March issue of the Commercial
Club Bulletin there will be two new
committees in the list. They will be
the union depot and the interurban
railway committees.
According to the secretary of the
club, ]. VIII Kelley, an effort will be
made in the direction of procuring
for Topeka interurban lines connect
ing with outlying districts. The union
depot project will also be taken up by
the committee which will be appoint
ed for the purpose.
This is the first intimation of an or
ganized move on the part of the Com
merciat club towards an interurban
system. The committee will go thor
oughly into the proposition.
Mr.. Kelley stated that now that the
attention of the business men is not
turned towards legislative proceedings
the efforts of the Commercial club
will be directed towards undertakings
that have been mapped out by the or
ganization.
For Factory Aid Plan.
Steps will be taken by the promo
ton committee for putting the factory
air plan into actual operation. An eff
fort will be made to increase material
ly the fund which is now about $685.
600.
Not long since branch of the Ros-
well manufacturing plant, with head
quarters in New Mexico, was opened
in a portion of the building formerly
owned by the Smith Automobile COM
pany. A dozen men are employed
manufacturing and perfecting orchard
heaters or smudge pots. 1t is the
hope of the promotion committee to
keep this concern here permanently
and if possible to bring the main fac
tory to Topeka
Numerous inquiries have been re-
ceived by Secretary Kelley since the
concerns that might be induced to To-
cate in Topeka If the club lands sew
eral factories in the course of the next
year they will consider that they have
been doing well.
The March issue of the Commercial
Club Bulletin will contain a list of
manufacturing concerns doing bust
ness in Topeka. This list will be run
for several months until it is complete.
Secretary Kelley requests the manage
ment of all firms not included in the
the official publication of the club to
let him know of the omission.
Will Issue Booklet
1t is also desired to publish list of
all available buildings which could be
used for factory purposes. and sites
that could be utilized for the erection
of factory buildings.
At later date all this information
will be published in booklet form for
the benefit of firms contemplating
coming to Topeka.

desires a location about 75x25 feet in

size, preferably on the west side of
Kansas avenue.
Secretary Kelley requests the MEM
berS of the Commercial club who have
any preference as to what committees
serve on, to let him know of the fact.
Here is a list of the committees which
will be appointed: Membership, civic
improvement, promotion, street light
ing, conventions roads and bridges,
agriculture, parks and Fairgrounds,
transportation, trade extension, state
and national legislation, municipal
legislation, schools and education, pub
lfcity, street railway and telephone,
