Market Has Taken ON q New
Lease of Life.
Building Permits Have Failed
to Keep Up Pace.
NEW ARRIVALS IN Topeka
They Have Been Many, Say the
Transfer Men.
Spring Realty Business Will Be
ut Height in April.

With the opening of spring the To-
cal realty market took on a new lease
of life. Numerous sales of dwell
ings and building sites have been re-
ported this week, and the inquiries for
properties on the part of prospective
buyers have become more numerous.
But the height of the season has not
yet arrived. In another month spring
business is expected to be in full
swing.
Building permits this month have
not kept pace with the showing made
in January and February. but April
is sure to record a gain. There Is not
a great deal of big work in sight in
Topeka, say the contractors. but much
activity in this line Is reported from
over the state. Scores of dwellings
will be erected in Topeka in the next
few months; the prediction is that
this will be another season OF expan-
sion in the residence districts.
According to the local transfer con-
Germs q large number of persons have
moved to Topeka this month.
