New Granville Road Is Opened
After Long Delay.
North Topeka Police Are De-
prived of Sabbath Rest.

With the completion of a crossing
over the Santa Fe tracks the last bit
of work preparatory to opening the
new Granville road was completed
and the highway was formally opened
Saturday morning. Traffic COM
menced Immediately and travel be-
tween Granville and North Topeka
promises to become more popular than
it was before a portion of the old
Granville road was washed away last
summer.
Until the highway was opened to the
public Saturday, the exact course of
the road to replace the one put out of
commission by high water last sum-
mer was in doubt. Immediately after
the old Granville road was put out of
service petitions were circulated and
presented to the county commissioners
calling for it's repair. AT the same
time half a dozen civic and private or
CARNATIONS began to draw up plans
for a highway to Granville. Every per-
son presenting a plan was convinced
that his was the only feasible one and
the county commissioners consequent
ly had plenty of assistance in mapping
out the course of a new road.
The new road follows the old one
closely excepting that it crosses the
Santa Fe tracks about one and a half
miles north of the city ana crosses the
a mile beyond the old crossing

ance when he became ill that set the
proprietor on the trail of a cop.
Sunday night Officers Ransom and
Billings were called to settle family
quarrel on East Laurent street. The

init the officers to remove him to the
City Inn on Fifth and Jackson streets.
