Ex-MayOr Billiards. Plan for
Tuberculosis Camp.
He Would Move 1t to Rented
Farm in the UpIands.

The tuberculosis camp still remains
the center of interest to North Topeka
people J. B. Billiard seems to have
worked out a good solution for the diff
ficulties of choosing proper location
for the camp. His suggestion is that
an eighty or, better hundred and
sixty acre farm, be rented in the up
lands or the bluffs north of town
where there is plenty of shade and
plenty of sunlight and room that the
cottages or tents of the patients might
be scattered at the same time having
plenty of tillable ground for the pa
tients who are able to spend a few
hours of each day working on a veget-
able or small fruit garden where the
garden truck for the camp could be
raised. This would be better than be-
ing idle all the time and would be of
real profit to the patients. The camp
should be so located that the residents
of any community could not object.

which is in league with the city to clean
up the trash and tin cans has issued
orders to North Topekans to have their
junk, cans trash, ETC., in the alleys
Monday morning ready to be hauled

of North Topeka the teamsters will

well for everyone to be ready for them. /
The school board of Granville are
circulating a petition for the building
of a new school house at that place. |
The old one has been there for many
years and if it should be decided to !
use it many repairs will be necessary. |
The three members of the Granville |
board are visitors at the Lyman school |
looking the new building as that place
over and making notes to be used in |
their work of planning for their own |
building.
The stamp sale at the North Topeka |
postoffice during the past month was
$118.13 below the sales during the same |
month last year. A. E. Robinson, clerk
in charge, places the blame on the
Dayton flood because most of the en-
velopes are printed at Dayton and the !
high water prevented the printing of
many during the last month. 1880 en- |
velopes have been ordered and will be |
here soon. The value of this bunch |
of envelopes would be about $270.
