lect the site for the federal buffd-
ing.
The appropriation OF 100000 was
made for the building about q year
ago. 49,
thirteen sites weres submitted for
the location OF the building just after
the appropriation was made and there
is no one in North Topeka who's has
any idea Of just which one will be
chosen.
men and residents seems to favor the
site which is located at the corner
of North Kansas avenue and West
Gordon street. This place is now oc-
cupied by the Adams grocery store.
While 1t is not in the center of the
business district it is, perhaps, one
of the best al1-round sites which has
been offered. 1t is situated at the in

building which will be erected in
North Topeka In the near future.
Before he went into the real estate

Mr.. Bridge worked at many things.
In this year he established q real

He is one of the North sides oldest

He is one Of the many men who have
put their faith in North Topeka and
made their fortune.
