That Is, if City Will Let $4,000
Forfeiture Bond Go.
MANAGER PATTEN SAYS so
Would Extend West Tenth
Street Line.
Cost Would Be $45,OOO-City
Considers 1t.

Albert NJ. Patten, general superin-
tendent of the Topeka Railway COM
pany, this afternoon announced that his
company would extend it's lines to Gage
park at an expense of $4,000 if the
city would abandon it's efforts in the
courts to collect $4,000 forfeiture
bond. The railway officials and the city
board of commissioners are in confer
epce this afternoon.
The plan of the Topeka Railway COM
pany is to extend the West Tenth ave-
nue. line from the turn at Morris ave-
nue. on out the Tenth street road to
the southeast corner of Gage park
The line would turn north at this point
and a terminal would be built at the
center east entrance of Topekas big
park.
The original plans called for the eX-
tension of the West Eighth avenue line.
1t is contended by General Superintend-
ent Patten that it would cost the COM
pany 100000 to rebuild the Eighth ave-
nue. line to handle the park traffic. Fur
thermOre the Tenth avenue line is dou-
ble-tracked as far as Clay street and
the construction is heavy and sufficient
ly built to care for the new service to
the west.
Work on the construction of the ex-
tension to Gage park will begin late
this spring or early in the summer. The
company is anxious to push the work
and complete the line before the end OF
hot weather. General Superintendent
Patten has estimated that the cost OF
construction and cables will amount to
$4,000 If the railway extended the
Eighth avenue line it would mean an
expenditure of more than $125,000.
The large Vinewood cars will be used
on the Gage park extension. These cars
are the largest in service and require
a heavy roadbed. 1t is probable that
the Tenth street double track terminal
at Clay street will be extended on to
Morris avenue. This depends altogether
on the business to the park.
The time between cars and the num-
Der of crews to be used also depends
| on the park business.
| Although many have expressed them
selves in favor of compromise by ex-
| tending the Tenth street line to Cages
park, it is understood that the city
commission will insist on the extension
| of the Kansas avenue tracks from
| Eighteenth to Twenty-first street 1t is
| still toss-up whether not the mat
| ter will end in the district court. 1t
| is hoped that Mr.. Patten and the COM
mission will reach an amicable agree
ment. ~ -- s-- o
Though L am only one of four said
| the mayor this afternoon, Il am quite
| willing to say that 1 am exceedingly
anxious to see the line extended in
| South Topeka. We want the extensions
provided for in the franchise
Although none of the commissioners
would express an opinion before the
conference, w. G. Tandy admitted he
believed the board agreed with mayor.
Petitions demanding the extension of
the tracks on south Kansas avenue
| have been numerous.
