Kansas River Sand Bill Good
Measure for North Topeka.
Bonus to Issue From Deposits
Taken From River.

Will enable the people OF tne Norln
Topeka drainage district to pay the
, cost of maintenance without assessing
the taxpayers of the district. 1t will
not be necessary to levy a general
| revenue tax and the bonus is expect
ed to amount to about $4,000 each
year in Topeka Under the provisions
of this bill, the North Topeka drain
age district will receive one-third of
the bonus, which will be about four or
five cents per cubic yard for sand
that is taken out of the river IN To-
peka. The passage of this Dill is
Voiland, the North Topeka representa-
tive in the legislature. An effort was
| made to pass the bill and cause all of
the bounty to revert to the general
provided for all of the bonus to revert
to the drainage districts. Mr.. Voiland
realized the result of such and asked
for one-half of the bonus, but finally
1t is estimated that the bonus will
amount to 100000 in the state. The
people of Kansas City will receive
more of the bonus than will the North
Topeka. drainage district, for the rea-
son that more sand is taken out of
the river at that point. The drainage
district is larger and the cost of work
that has been done and other work
that is expected to be done also is
much greater than in North Topeka.
