WILLING TO DO IT
City Commissioners Agree
With Board of Health.
Only Residents Against Con.
structiOn of Sewer.

c. A. Haskins. state sanitary engi-
neer. has recommended to the state
| board OF health that a sewer be built
| in East Topeka to serve what is said
to be the most thickly settled, unsewered
area in the state. The recommends
ton has been endorsed by the state
board of health and in all probability
the city commission will be notified in
a few days that a sewer must be con-
structed.
| The city commissioners all say that
sewer in the district is needed. They
agree fully with the state board of
health that something should be done
to improve sanitary conditions, but up
to the present time the commissioners
have not cared to act in opposition to
what seems to be the sentiment Of the
people living in the district. Appar-
emily sentiment is overwhelmingly OPP
posed to the building Of a sewer at this
| time.
| To construct a sewer in this district
will be expensive. but just what it will
cost per lot has not been computed and
cannot be until a survey and plans have
been made. The Jefferson street main
Is already carrying a full load. and a
new main to the river will be necessary.
AS the land Is level and most of 1t
low. a pumping station may also be
needed.
Test q New Law.
| The law giving the state board of
health authority to compel action on
the part of the city has never been
tested. If the construction of a sewer
is undertaken against the wishes of the
property owners. litigation against the
city is. likely to follow. On the other
hand, If the city commission fails to
comply with the state boards orders.
the city may have to fight a lawsuit
with the state.
not been notified OF the state boards
action and were not prepared to say
what course would be followed. They
all agreed, however. that sewer Is
needed, with the exception of w. L.
| Porter, city commissioner OF parks.
who is bed-fast with Ia grippe, and
who has not stated his position.
That this large area without sewers
is a menace to the general health OF
the city as well as to the persons liv-
ing there. has just recently been DEM
onstrated An epidemic of diphtheria
occurred there in the fall and for sew
eral weeks all other parts of the city
were free from the disease. But in
time 1t spread to North Topeka and to
other parts Of the city.
Persons living in a part OF the dis
trict included in the boards order pc
titioned for a sewer last summer, but
c. A. Haskins, state engineer. refused
to approve the plans. insisting that the
entire district should be included.
II Topeka is not the only city ordered
to improve sanitary conditions, The
board also ordered Emporia to
install a water treating plant within
1 one year and Chanute was given year
to put in a sewerage filtration plant.

What will be the immediate effect
Of the operation OF the new currency

piled. There will be an end of great,
unnatural accumulations of money in

money will be distributed throughout
the United States. We will not have
boom; we will have the beginning of
a new period of sound, sane, legitimate
industrial success.

the composition and personnel OF the
